Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Workfront
At our organization, we use Adobe Workfront primarily as a project management tool within our brand and marketing teams. Adobe Workfront allows us to effectively track progress on projects that cross multiple teams and require the support of a diverse group of stakeholders. As a result, it is used in a wide range of projects hanging from adding new sections to sites to implementing new marketing pixels.
Pros
- Easy to create projects and add tasks to them
- Easy to tag and loop in different people
- Is fairly easy to keep track of progress being made on specific projects and their sub tasks
Cons
- It can sometimes be a bit difficult to keep track of multiple projects
- Hard to include people who do not have a Adobe Workfront account
- I wish there were better notifications around when tasks are removed or you are unassigned from a task
- Reduces overall overhead with tracking projects and progress, thus freeing up time for involved parties to focus on other tasks
- Licensing complexity and access issues have historically led to a lot of extra time being spent on set up, which reduces overall productivity
- Integrations with other tools in our tool stack generally work well and allow us to expand on our capabilities with Adobe Workfront
Beyond using Adobe Workfront as a work management tool, we've also adapted Adobe Workfront to help streamline other workflows and processes. For example, we've used templates in Adobe Workfront to simplify the process of creating campaign IDs for a wide variety of marketing campaigns and initiatives. We also have integrated Adobe Workfront with Jira to better automate intake processes.
As mentioned earlier, we use Adobe Workfront primarily to track cross team project progress and manage resources related to these projects. That allows us to bridge the gap that would otherwise exist when accounting for disparate teams and the differences in which they communicate and track internal progress. Adobe Workfront makes this communication and work management easier to streamline and optimize.
While I consider Jira to have a somewhat different targeted use case from Adobe Workfront, they definitely overlap in some of their capabilities. As mentioned earlier, I find that Adobe Workfront is better at tracking progress and managing resources for larger projects that cross a number disparate teams or stakeholders. Meanwhile, Jira is better for tracking individual projects within a single team or smaller tasks, something that can be a bit harder to do at scale in Adobe Workfront.
