Hello, I'm the Workfront administrator for APS Payroll Systems. Welcome to the community. Benetta Perry APS

Hi everyone! I'm the Workfront administrator for Pentana Solutions, which is a global automotive ERP supplier headquartered out of Melbourne, Australia. We have a number of offices around the world and know the ins and outs of how timezones work in Workfront... We've been using Workfront for just over 3 years, and I'd say we're fairly advanced users (but far from perfect). We also heavily use Fusion (for integration with other systems) and Power BI (for advanced reporting and visualisations). I'm active on the community and always happy to offer help, as it has been a great resource for me over the years. David Cornwell

Hello Workfront community! I am a new Traffic Specialist at BlueCross BlueShield of TN, in the Corporate Communications department. I am new to Workfront, although I have spent the last two weeks exploring the countless setup options. This appears to be a robust platform, and I look forward to determining how to make it work best for my team! Debbie Scalf BCBST - Corporate Communications

Hi There, I am just getting started using WorkFront for a manufacturing company. We will be using WF for our Design & Development (including Engineering Change Order processes) and also to align our WIGs (wildly important goals) across the company. I am in the midst of Administrator training. Kristin Kristin Rice

Hi Everyone! My name is Milla Callison. I lead a team in charge of Marketing Platforms we call COSMOS and Workfront is a big part of it (UI basically). I am looking forward to learning form others overall in the area of success metrics and how we measure productivity gains form technology (applications, platforms, RPA, AI, etc.) I have blocked some time in my calendar to spend time learning around this community!

Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!! My name is Debi Ravareau and one year ago I set out to find an intake tool and a project management tool for our team. It was a long process with many demos, conversations, and tool comparisons. You won't believe how hard it is to find a tool that does both intake and projects. The journey has had it's ups and downs; I'm happy to say we choose Workfront and we are on our way to organizing our work, have better collaboration and overall vision of what's happening in our department. I hope to meet some of you during boot camp to your hear your successes and stumbling points. Debra Ravareau Centene - G&A - Communication

"every unholy spawn of Excel spreadsheet known to the lost souls roaming offices at night." Dang , dude . Yer funny. I too have tried every PM solution floozy on the block. I just threw on the WF switch for my small team of five as part of a huge IT group and have started climbing the learning "curb" Good luck to you, Captain.

Hi John, Welcome to the community! I think you'll find it very useful as you take on this new challenge. There are some very experienced users in here who have been down all the roads you're heading towards. We tested the Salesforce plugin successfully and we are a SSO shop. My advice there, make sure the salesforce admin who is installing the plugin is also a system administrator in Workfront (temporarily if needed). Other than that, the documentation for the installation is well done. --Narayan

Hi everyone! My name is John Mitchell and I am a Senior PM at VSP Global, I work on the implementation team for one of our business units: Eyefinity. It is a optometry/ophthalmology end-to-end practice management solution that covers everything from patient check in to creating and shipping glasses and contacts. I'll be an SME for Workfront here at VSP. I'm brand new to Workfront, but I have used Basecamp, Wrike, Project, and every unholy spawn of Excel spreadsheet known to the lost souls roaming offices at night. If I could find a person that has experience making Workfront (and Fusion) work with JIRA, Confluence, and especially Salesforce would be amazing as we are just getting into pulling an existing Workfront implementation from our small business team and into the enterprise side. Heads up on pitfalls would be sweet! Hopefully all day, no projects are implemented yet. I'm passionate about working out at lunch, tinkering (woodworking, very poor soldering of LED-based projects with my kids), and once the kids/wife are asleep at night I do some gaming on the side. Not much time else for anything. What's a pirate's favorite letter?

Hi everyone! I used Workfront at a previous company and am a new employee with another organization. How do you use Workfront? Tracking for project status, and financial reporting. What would make this community amazing for you? Hearing about tricks for using the data to create awesome PowerPoint reporting to include charts. How much time do you spend using Workfront on a daily basis? 1 -2 hrs What are you passionate about (other than work)? Helping others What's your favorite joke? How many project managers does it take to change a light bulb? Trick question. They can't actually do it, it's an infrastructure problem. Kathleen Kientz St. Joseph's Health
