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.

  • We only used it as an internal hub, but it definitely did increase employee efficiency. We were able to communicate faster and have all documents in one place.
  • This also helped us share large documents that were too big to send via email.

  • AtTask has allowed my IT department to track and report actual costs of development projects.
  • AtTask completely revamped the way we manage resource allocation, and has allowed us to calculate resource allocations months in advance.

  • AtTask has allowed our employee efficiency to increase due to the fact that there is increased collaboration that is documented and traceable. This allowed us to decrease meetings, and it has also allowed our team members in other time zones to be able to pick-up on where a previous team member left off, creating less errors, since they can be looped in on exactly what happened with the progress of specific tasks.
  • AtTask has also allowed our company to track our billability more accurately and timely. This results from being able to customize project categories and tasks.
  • AtTask has also helped our managers to more accurately track resource utilization, to help ensure that our employees are not being under or over worked. This also has helped ensure that accounts are being executed on budget. The reporting features of AtTask, paried with the ability of the tool to track time that is logged in real-time under different task categories, allowed one of our accounts to be able to tightly monitor team utilization to ensure that we did not bust the quarterly budget. This feature also helps managers ensure that team members that are shared across multiple accounts, are meeting their percent thresholds that they are supposed to be working on specific accounts, and has enabled managers to more accurately see where team members are spending their time.

  • Turnaround Times: I can't speak for any improvement to lead conversion, or how revenue has been directly impacted. I am part of the Web Production team, which is a services team to the corporate marketing organization. What I can provide an example of, is how drastically our team's efficiency has improved. When I first started in my current role, the average turnaround time for production of a single asset (web page, email, etc.) was 6+ days. At the end of Q4 in FY13, the average turnaround time for production was 2.13 days. So although we don't track revenue figures in AtTask, we have observed both a reduction in turnaround time and an increase in throughput. In 2012, we successfully executed 536 projects. In 2013, that number increased to 723.

  • Hugely positive impact on our business. Much faster time-to-market with our products, vastly reduced miscommunication. AtTask is now THE source of all live, critical project information.
  • AtTask has allowed us to seamlessly bring together different business units and teams from all over the world.
  • We're continuously expanding the number of users in the system. Teams take a quick look at how effective it has been for the original users and they want to evaluate it for themselves.

  • Great project tracking and management tool! It allows a great flexibility and great visibility to the current projects status.
  • Great workload management and tracking tool! I have list of all tasks, requests, issues assigned to me - right in front of me, with deadlinet. So, daily planner with all necessary details - right in front of me!
  • Views: great flexibility in creating views, slicing and dicing, any way you need - for projects and tasks. Very helpful in multi-functional teams environment.

  • AtTask has had limited ROI for the organization due to not being used enterprise-wide.
  • AtTask has provided better and more uniform updates to stakeholders and executives through the reporting features and milestone tracking.
  • AtTask has created a simple repository where all projects can be reviewed by the PMO for easier visibility of project statuses.

  • AtTask increased employee efficiency for my team members and myself. Managing multiple projects at once, it is a lot easier to log into AtTask to check task/project status rather than having to reach out to all team members to get an update.
  • I traveled frequently in my position. AtTask provided all team members with an up-to-date tracking system at anytime of day.

  • AtTask in-time provided an Improved understanding of our internal processes.
  • AtTask also made us more aware of when projects were over budget and where expenses could either be manipulated, cut back or passed on and charged back.
  • ROI was a definite positive after we implemented AtTask as we had never had access to such a powerful tool before.
