Overall Satisfaction with Workfront

Workfront is primarily used to track and manage tasks associated with larger cross-functional projects across the company. It allows us to track time spent, raise issues, submit new requests, and keep an eye on progress to goal. Our project managers don’t utilize it to its fullest extent of capability, which leads it to become more of a to-do list, but it has more advanced functions like budgeting and reporting that would be useful.
  • Alert individuals or groups to new activity towards task completion
  • Remind users of overdue tasks
  • Flexibility to assign new users/contributors
  • Upload documents
  • Integrate ProofHQ for client approvals
  • Do not like how easy it is for tasks to “get lost” in the My Work section.
  • Frequent minor glitches
  • Sometimes have difficulty uploading files
  • Easier to manage resources involved in development work
  • Difficult to integrate with our payroll, so resources spend double time tracking their hours
  • Easy to track project history
  • Aha!
I was not part of the selection process
With a stronger project management office, workfront would work very well in Agile development environments. It’s also good for campaign calendar execution and could be a great tool for waterfall-triggered editorial management.
