[Workfront AMA] Ask Me ANYTHING about Workfront Governance
This event has concluded, thanks for attending!
We are back with our re-branded Ask Me Anything (AMA) series, formerly known as Community Coffee Breaks! To kick off 2025, Cynthia Boon and Nichole Vargas of the Customer Success team will be hosting a 1-hour AMA on establishing a Governance model for Workfront. Keep in mind this is a text-only event, there is no link/video to join! Just post your question as a reply to the thread and it will be answered during the 1-hour “event”.
So, what is Governance?
Governance refers to the processes, policies, and controls put in place to ensure that the Workfront (or any other application) is used effectively, consistently, and in alignment with your organization's strategic objectives. By pulling together resources from cross-functional teams to form a governance committee, you can provide leadership, best practices, and structure for system settings, support, and training to drive enterprise-level work.
Why do we need Governance?
Most organizations have various teams and groups using Workfront, so without structure and standards in place, data integrity, security and compliance, and overall alignment has an increased risk of being compromised. Creating an organizational structure around Governance specific to your organization provides a mechanism to understand and establish standards across a set group of teams, while providing a forum for feedback, evolution, and collaboration.
Not sure where to start? We’ve included some sample questions to get you started.
- What is the purpose of a Governance model?
- What are the benefits of implementing a Governance practice?
- What are the steps to build a Governance practice?
- Who should be included in this effort?
- What are the roles and responsibilities of the Governance team?
Here are some recent Governance resources to get you thinking about the topic prior to the event:
