Solid PM software to for the entire organization to use

We used it to manage projects across various teams. We could set deadlines, add dependencies and track deliverables across the entire project lifecycle. One project manager would create a project from a template and then assign resources to the project (some assigned automatically, some assigned through traffic management).

We try to keep all communication about a specific project within Workfront, so that it's easy to reference a prior decision and understand why a specific choice was made. It also helps someone picking up an old project and continuing it, or someone building a new project based on an old one. All the communication is archived for easy reference.

By putting everyone in the company on the same program, we're able to unify departments; the technical writing team tracks their deliverables, the solution architects track theirs, the web team tracks theirs. Everyone knows when they're expected to start working and nothing falls through the cracks. I especially like how people can fit certain "roles" and have the role slot in for templates, so a template might call for any technical writer and then you can assign a specific one when you create a specific project.
