Overall Satisfaction with Workfront

  • Parallel project planning
  • Resource planning in parallel project
  • Resource time sheet can help a lot to manage project cost, project statistics, and future scenarios
  • Support service in Italian
  • Positive impact on workload management and resource availability outside my dept.
Very poor to manage many project with shared resources
I don't suggest it for a small team working on a project in series and/or frequent project scope/priority change.

Using Workfront

33 - I lead R&D team composed by 33 people but increasing year by year. Also others functions inside our company/organization are using WorkFront too as manufacturing engineering, supply chain and so no. Basically we're using for tasks scheduling, timesheets evaluation, projects planning.
The tools is used since 2010 and it's a local tool.
  • task scheduling
  • project scheduling
  • overall team workload tracking
  • to adopt as official tool at global level
