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.

Our organization is quite large and multi-faceted. We have numerous departments and various projects in each department. There are constantly new things popping up as we respond to different events that happen in the world. Workfront is a useful tool in helping all that stay organized and allowing us to be more efficient in the actual tasks of our work.

I lead R&D team composed by 33 people but increasing year by year. Also others functions inside our company/organization are using WorkFront too as manufacturing engineering, supply chain and so no. Basically we're using for tasks scheduling, timesheets evaluation, projects planning.
The tools is used since 2010 and it's a local tool.

Company owner/managing partner, account and project management team as well as creative team and finance. All areas of our business function utilize workfront to track projects throughout the entire lifecycle as well as a reference tool for previous projects when we need to pull numbers, cross check etc. Everyone has enjoyed using it!

Primary users are Professional Services and Training (to manager their projects). Marketing and Business Process teams use it for ticketing (and some project management). All staff use it to submit tickets to Marketing and Business Process teams, and the Sales team also uses it to submit Product & Services requests to the PS team. Finally, all R&D staff use it for time tracking.

In our organization, our entire Technology Services department uses Workfront. This spans many job functions, from our Project Management department, to our Infrastructure engineering team, our Client Services technicians, our Relationship Managers, Information Security personnel, etc. And of course, our management team makes use of the product as well. We also use Workfront to publish a "project dashboard" for upper University management to be able to keep up to date on project status.

Everyone, top to bottom. Executives us it to report on employees' time and usage. Project managers use it to manage tasks, see employee availability, and review time spent on tasks. Employees use it to determine what tasks they're assigned to, when the work needs to be completed, and how much time they have to put towards is.

AtTask is used by most of the employees in our company from production to managers to support staff. The business functions of our employees who use AtTask include Accounting, H.R., General Managers, Project Managers, Account Directors, Advertising and Data Managers, Email Marketing, Artists, New Business, Editors, Web Developers, and Internet Marketing. The employees that aren't using AtTask currently are our sales teams although, we are looking into a connection between our Salesforce and AtTask accounts that might allow us to include our Sales staff too.

My company is a manufacturer, and it is primarily used in Engineering. But our Purchasing department, and Marketing Departments also use it. Our Manufacturing Engineering department has jumped all over it as well. We have not put IT on it, but they have helped solved some of the problems that AtTask creates.
