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 think Workfront has had a positive investment on our ROI. Work can get done faster, which in turn helps us to create more. Users do not have to search through their emails for different notes or documents, they are all in once place to review.

  • Positive impact to our development flow. Previously we did not have a specific system.
  • Positive impact on our ability to field requests.
  • Negative impact on our user adoption (not necessarily a negative on the product) but getting users excited to use the tool can be a challenge.

  • Workfront has improved our collaboration among the team by encouraging team members to tag each other and leave updates in the system on projects they are working on.
  • The approval process in Workfront is fairly simple to use. However, with the integration of ProofHQ, the approvals seems to go more smoothly as we are able to capture all stakeholder feedback and approvals in a single proof before moving forward with it. The only drawback is that the proof doesn't provide a link back to the project once you're in it.
  • Our workflow is much more manageable now that we have Workfront. We have visibility to everything that is in the queue and to everyone's workload.

  • We deliver hundreds of workshops to clients every year. Workfront has helped to streamline so much of the logistics and communication associated with that (scheduling workshop leaders, printing and shipping, tracking and confirming completed deliveries, recognizing revenue, etc.) . Before that, we relied on so many ad hoc systems, spreadsheets, email searches, etc. It was an incredible pain.

  • Workfront is an expensive tool, but it has brought a significant amount of cross-departmental collaboration into our business processes. We want everyone in the organization to use this tool--it just seems unlikely with the current pricing structure.

  • It's a simple tool to add time to which helps motivate people to put in time often and accurately
  • We are in the process of rolling this out across more offices and being able to work in one system will streamline communication.

  • We are still in process of implementing Workfront. It's a slow roll out, one to two departments at a time. So our impact thus far is minimal but I can say having every program/project in a single system has provided a lesser need for email chains, meetings and "he said/she said" conversations.

  • We have seen an increase in productivity as we are able to show our developers where they impact the overall project.
  • We are able to justify when we're unable to provide resources for a specific piece of work on short notice.
  • If we used the project scorecard, we could show a great impact on how we are working towards the strategic initiatives of the organization.

  • Positive: Clear project goals in terms of time and costs.
  • Collaboration and project managment in general has improved and people, after an initial skepticism, are on board and understand the use of it.
  • Very complete and complex tool. Some task users are scared using the system and can get lost.

  • We are far better able to schedule upcoming work and make changes on the fly
  • Our Account teams and executives have real-time access to the current status of their projects and can gauge their overall "health"
  • We've entirely eliminated paper/job jackets for day-to-day operations
  • Easier collaboration among our related agencies since our processes and tools are nearly identical now

  • It has helped us with our campaign setup and workflows to ensure that people were setting things up correctly which was a human problem that we fixed with Workfront.
  • Collaboration.
  • A Rosetta Stone for all campaign meta data as a single point of reference for all users.
  • A more efficient way to work with multiple teams with multiple ingredients to a project.

  • Productivity has increased tremendously! We used to struggle to get ahead of our upcoming campaigns and were creating project the day before or even the day they were due. Now with Workfront, we are a month ahead and planning 2-3 months ahead of the project due date.
  • The team is much more satisfied with the project management tool more than any other tool we have used in the past. We were constantly hearing how the tool didn't fit their personal needs with other tools.

  • Resource allocation and management has had a very positive impact on our department.
  • Document hosting and digital reviews have allowed for easier and more relevant conversations during reviews.
  • Project visibility for the average user is somewhat lost without the generation of a manual report (negative feedback on reports) or hosting a campaign calendar.

  • Getting people off of emailing project information and updates has greatly increased productivity and duplicate communications
  • The ability for clients to submit requests through Workfront's portal vs. emailing them or sidebar conversations has virtually eliminated things that fall through the cracks
  • Having project information and creative briefs all in one place has greatly reduced time that my team spends ramping up on projects

  • Workfront has helped to improve efficiency and collaboration by allowing all projects to be visible at the click of a button. No more tracking things down, waiting for an email response, calculations of statuses. It's all automatic and readily available in up to the minute accuracy.
