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.

  • While we have not yet incorporated any of the financial components, our teams can see an improvement in efficiency and transparency when it comes to workflows. The value of knowing how long and what resources a project will require is very beneficial.
  • Cross-departmental collaboration is improving as we continually flesh-out new and different workflows. For each new type of project we run through Workfront, we take away several new learnings. It's hard to put a dollar amount on that, but the ROI is obvious.

  • We tested Workfront for approximately a year. We found it more complex than we needed for the tasks we expected to manage. Many of our lead employees are disconnected at periods throughout the day and the logging aspect was cumbersome for this group.
