Comment to win! What are you working on?

If you’re like us at Workfront, every January we start a ton of new projects. So I started to wonder what is everyone else working on in Workfront these days? Tell us all below what projects you’re working on this month (or something you finished recently) and you’ll be entered to win a $10 gift card of your choice! I’ll draw multiple winners, so multiple chances to win. Respond by the end of the day Feb 9 to enter.

I’ll start‚Ķ

I’m creating projects to help me keep track of developing some new programs for you, our wonderful customers, things like more Quick Tips, a Community Corner, and tracking my ad-hoc work in Workfront. All while trying to find the balance between over-engineering the project, but creating enough tasks and reports to keep me on track.

Now it’s your turn! What are you working on?

Thank you all so much for sharing what you're working on! Because it's February, I want to make sure you ALL the feel the love, so each and every one of you, watch your inboxes shortly for a link to choose your $10 gift card.

I think we might have to start doing this question on a more regular basis as I have loved seeing what everyone is working on.

I'm working on documentation so our designers can add proofs directly to the proofing system. Also, setting up more templates.

I receive an email notification every time an employee leaves the company. I then manually go through the email folder I route these emails to, (through an Outlook rule) and find any of the severed employees that have an active WF account. If they DO have an active WF account, I check if they have any active projects or tasks. If they do, these tasks will need to be reassigned, and then I deactivate their account.

We have over 11,000 employees, and just went through a huge round of layoffs after we were recently acquired. So, needless to say, this is a painstakingly long process.

After the Virtual User Group this morning, I am excited to see if there is a way to leverage Fusion for this process (or at least the part where I go through the list and compare it to our WF users). I have limited experience with Fusion outside of the two or three use-cases we have workflows as solutions for, so I honestly have no idea if it's even possible, or if it's a super simple solution.

We are actually in the process of a few projects:

  1. Implementing some automation using Fusion 2.0
  2. Implementing a Training Plan to switch all current users to the New Workfront Experience
  3. Re-evaluating current Project Templates & Custom Forms (which were all created when we first implemented Workfront) and refining, simplifying and editing them f or increased efficiency, using the latest Workfront features now available

We are excited to use some of increased experience and knowledge and new tools available to streamline some of our processes in the hopes of making it easier and more effective tool in our project management.

It's so interesting to see what others are working on right now! We are still relatively new to Workfront, just about a year using the system. Our recent focus has been expanding use to other internal teams as well as setting up view only resources for our clients, with a more interactive future state. We're also working on migrating our teams to the new experience in the next couple months

In the proces of closing out some long-term projects, and soon to be working on a high-level milestone schedule for new, upcoming project.

Doesn't it feel so GOOD to close out projects? There's something so satisfying about it to me! Almost as satisfying as marking a task or issue as complete!

We are working on implementing Fusion in order for our instance to communicate with SharePoint and eventually Salesforce. We are trying to bridge gaps across 13 companies that the marketing team manages within our Workfront instance. #thejuggleisreal

That's awesome! I love seeing the cool things that people are doing with Fusion. Also, that hashtag! I love it!! I might have to steal that and do some other kind of contest or something with that. 13 companies in one is a lot to manage, but I have a feeling you're on the right track with automating what you can.

You are totally welcome to use that hashtag! Is it a lot to manage and we are learning as we go but definitely up for a good challenge.

This is helping me think of more things to consider

My top priorities are:

  • Getting a 2020 baseline to start exploring how to tell the story that Creative Ops is achieving high-level goals within Workfront (better data clean-up, more efficient support, training users)
  • Developing streamlined reports that can help all leaders instead of reports tailored to one specific team's needs
  • Creating a Day in the Life guide covering my role's activities and the cadence
  • Creating a Workfront Roadmap for our specific instance and growth plans to span 2021-2022

I love where you're headed Monique. I think it would be interesting to combine the Workfront Roadmap with your baseline and goal reporting so you can show how driving that roadmap is really a high-level goal and what it achieves for the business. Now you've got me thinking!

This is a fantastic idea! We might have to hop on a call and talk this out as I explore a little deeper.

Our focus in Q1 is piloting a campaign management model using a new campaign project template with embedded request queues, and expanding the user base with our regional marcomm teams across the globe!

Oooh! Expanding across regions is always a fun challenge. How many regions and languages are we talking about here? I'm assuming this is going to mean some late nights/early morning meetings for you to get trainings out the door?

We just implemented Scenario Planner and Goals so I've been working on getting those set up. I'm also working on creating a request queue for our IT team for software requests and lastly I'm registering for the WF Intermediate System Admin Bootcamp and going for the certification!

Tricia,
