Introduce Yourself!

< > Welcome to the forum. Dive right in, we’re a fun bunch to work with. The WorkFront product management team and occasionally the leadership team read and respond to our messages, so this forum is a great place to interact. Don’t be shy! Eric

Hello I am Angel! I started with my current company just on Feb 1 and they were just beginning to roll out Workfront. I am now the system owner as the Director of the PMO and have been so very impressed with Workfront and all it does. We now have almost every department using it and will have all by end of Q3. We implemented our first ever time tracking policy and have visibility in work load for the very first time. It has been great. I enjoyed LEAP and learned a great deal and recently joined Workfront Pride as I love to tell people about our success and can't wait to see how our effeciency benefits as we continue using Workfront.

<> It was announced at LEAP this year that next year, 2017, the Conference will be in Salt Lake City, Utah. Hope to see you there!

Hi, My name is David Cornwell. I am based in Melbourne, Australia and work in the PMO for Pentana Solutions, who provide IT Solutions to the Automotive industry worldwide. We are 6 months into our rollout of Workfront to around 200 users globally, spanning many timezones and languages. We have a way to go, and are starting on integration to our Finance and Service Desk systems at the moment. Like others, I find the community great already. As I am the most advanced Workfront user in our company, there is nobody here to twirl propellers with at my level so it is great to be able to connect with others in similar roles in other companies. As mentioned in another thread I started, one of the things I really would like to see is a Feature Request area with voting functionality. Nate is already looking into providing this, which is great. I spend around 90% of my time in Workfront daily at the moment and can't see that letting up any time soon! Aside from work, I am passionate about travelling with my wife....Japan and Thailand are up next this year. I'll leave the jokes to those who are good at them! I didn't make it to LEAP this year (too busy with the rollout) but hopefully next year will be possible. Do you know where it will be next? Cheers

Welcome, Jan! Jump in, the waters great! ‚ò∫

Hello! I am Jan Jacobs, from Madison, Wisconsin. I work at Great Lakes Higher Education Corporation, managing projects in the philanthropy division. We are fairly new to WorkFront. We implemented in November 2015. Looking forward to sharing the wealth of knowledge this group holds! Jan

Hi, I'm the Assistant Director of Marketing Operations at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. One of my responsibilities is project management. We use Workfront throughout the day and each team member is supposed to use their dashboard as their to-do list. I think it would be great for the community to be a place where we can share our solutions for various processes and issues. I bet we all have some unique settings and reports that would be useful to another team! Outside of work I enjoy boxing and riding my motorcycle. I don't have a favorite joke, but here's an interesting article about research done on what makes jokes funny: http://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2015-11-24-what-makes-us-laugh-its-serious-research

Jennifer and Julie, I hope you both had a blast at LEAP! So glad to have you in the community. In Reply to Jennifer Abbey and Jullie Wago:

This will be my first LEAP conference and I'm looking forward to learning a lot and meeting other fellow Workfront attendees.

Becka, I'm so glad you're a part of this community! Just so you and Skye know, we are planning to build out the community into more focused forums. My goal is to make the forum like a house party. I don't want it to feel like a mosh pit (so many people in one forum that you can't keep track of anything or get any value out of it) and I don't want anyone standing in a room completely alone because we chose to build out the new toipcs too quickly. Keep sending me feedback, as it's the best way for me and the Workfront Team here to know what to build out next. In Reply to Becka Johns:

The implementation of this community is fantastic. I often look to my peers for help working through an issue and having access to a whole group of people I can learn from, and in turn help, is priceless. I echo Skye's request for breaking out the forums into smaller focus areas. It'd be very helpful to be able to target the type of conversations I'm interested in. For example, we are no where close to being able to implement resource planning/leveling, so those conversations aren't of much interest to me. But reports/dashboards or approval workflows? That's a horse of a different color.
