Product Details

What is Adobe Workfront?

Workfront is a web-based project-management tool acquired and now supported by Adobe since late 2020. It was designed for both IT and marketing teams, but can be implemented for any kind of project. Workfront offers all the features standard to project management platforms. Editing and updating issues from the project view is styled to work somewhat similarly to a social networking site, bringing team members together in one central location. From the project view screen, issues, documents, and other elements of the project are placed along a tab bar so that they may be addressed with one click directly from the hub.

The platform's Capacity Planner allows a manager to move resources to where they are needed, and has some automation features (e.g. the Set Best Fit option, which attempts to allocate resources optimally within given constraints). Agile project management is supported with features like Gantt charts, an easily viewable and manipulable backlog, and storyboarding. Team members can be managed with the aid of quantitative metrics that show where work would be best allocated.

A free trial is available, after which Workfront comes in four pricing options. The lowest tier is Collaboration for small groups, followed by Work which adds mobile accessibility and time sheets, then Plan which adds additional analytic, planning, and reporting features. Finally, Enterprise Plus offers the highest configurability as well as support and data security.

I'm honestly not sure how many people we have that support workfront, but we have an IT staff that is helpful with any of our needs or questions about using the software. I've received some training that helps me understand the software and utilize it to it's fullest potential. I think the types of people needed are people with experience in that realm of IT. Just to support us if we run into any bugs or things that we're not sure about.

The project management team manages workfront and it's functions. We take feedback from the account and creative team and work to adjust the tool as needed. It's a learning process for all of us! A lot of patience is required as well as time to train each member of staff on the most efficient way to use the tool. An operations skillset is definitely required to understand how we can make our process more efficient, how we should setup the program and usability for different people within the team.

We have one employee in our Project Management office who is our "Workfront guy." He is our interface with the Workfront company as well as our main trainer and maintainer of the Workfront system. We use a hosted solution so there are not a lot of other personnel requirements on our end.

Workfront (AtTask) Review

When we implemented the system in 2012, the Creative Service Manager assigned one Project Manager to assist with the system set-up as a System Administrator. There were a lot of man hours to set up the system, but once set-up was complete, you figure out enhancements, and the set-up is not difficult.
In the Marketing Department, there are several sub departments. The Creative Service Team owns WorkFront and it is each project managers (3 of us) responsibility to train the assigned clients. Once the training was complete, our clients hardly require help, except if there is an enhancement made or we purchased the Proofing Tool, which required some training.
If there are system-wide issues we assign one PM to contact WF through the help desk to obtain the resolve.
Since implementation, we had two training sessions with the WF consulting team - one during set-up and the second was two years later to address the enhancements ( AtTask to WorkFront) and to address any issues we were having.

An understanding of how Workfront was configured. It helps to have someone with a programming background (to write complex queries in some reports) but more importantly, the support person has to understand your processes as designed in Workfront.

I am in charge of our AtTask use, but I just needed to dig in, to wrap my head around it. I received no official training, but within 3 months I knew more than any one else at our company except our admin, who brought AtTask on board. We could really use another person.

It is important to have someone in the group who has extensive Project Management skills or a PMP designation. Someone who has the time to dedicate to users who need an immediate answer and someone who is highly focussed on customer service. If one person has a bad experience, feelings can be transferred to others very quickly. An administrator must be able to address those people quickly and without bias.
