Hey everyone!

My name is Nate Bagley. I'm the new Community Manager here at Workfront.

My job is to support you, answer your questions, facilitate conversations, help you get to know the Workfront software better, and make this community a cool place for you to visit regularly. I'm really excited to get to know you all personally.

I'd love it if you'd upload a profile picture of yourself here is a walkthrough of how to do that if you get stuck ) and then introduce yourself briefly in the comments below by answering one or all of these questions:

How do you use Workfront?

What would make this community amazing for you?

How much time do you spend using Workfront on a daily basis?

What are you passionate about (other than work)?

What's your favorite joke?

Here's a little about me: I'm very passionate about podcasting, I love Lindy Hop dancing, my guilty pleasure is the Muppets, and I'm super excited to be here at Workfront. I know the team here cares about you a lot. They're really excited to meet a bunch of you at LEAP in a few weeks. Ok, your turn! Upload that profile picture , and introduce yourself!

    Hi, everyone! I'm Becka and I'm the brand manager for a large healthcare organization based in Toledo, Ohio. We span the continuum of care from hospitals and primary care providers to home health care and hospice. We are 17,000 strong and serve 27 counties in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan. In addition to my brand manager responsiblities, I'm also the system admin for our instance of Workfront. Our marketing communications divison serves as an in-house agency for the organization - marketing/advertising, design, video, digital, PR, etc. We use Workfront to manage our daily workflows and intake customer requests. We've been up and running on Workfront for about 18 months and it's only getting better as we go. I spend about 60% of my day in Workfront ... My goal is to get that much higher, but we are still in the transition phase of moving communication/work out of email and over to Workfront. 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. Outside of work, much of my time involves my fur-kid, Rosie - a (almost) four year-old Boston Terrier/Bulldog mix. My favorite thing in life right now is a new podcast - The West Wing Weekly. (Does anyone else wish that Josiah Barlett was running for president?) I'm an NPR junkie and love music - musicals, classical, jazz, opera, bluegrass, 80s power ballads, 90s boy bands.

    Hi Everyone, My name is Julie Wago and I work for Getty Images as a Sr. Manager in our Marketing Operations team based in Seattle. In addition to being our Workfront Administrator, I manage a team of project managers and together we help to execute on our company's marketing initiatives. We implemented Workfront a year ago and I'm now looking to improve things by focusing on a few areas, such as capacity & resource planning and enhancement of our user experience. This will be my first LEAP conference and I'm looking forward to learning a lot and meeting other fellow Workfront attendees. Cheers!

    Anthony,
    Just having this community is amazing. I like hearing the questions, issues and feedback people give about the tool. It is nice to 1) make sure that you aren’t crazy and this is something other people are struggling with, and 2) others can chime in with answers or workarounds. Everyone is at a different level in the tool and work different with the tool so it is great seeing their perspective.
    Thank you for saying this. I am so excited to see this community grow and do whatever I can to make sure it's valuable and fun.
    Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse! Optimist: Yes, it can!
    This is hilarious! -Nate Bagley --- Workfront Community Manager - Work Smart, Work Happy Message me directly at:

    Hi Everyone, My name is Anthony Imgrund and I am a project manager with the Strategic Ops team at FCB. I act as the system administrator for our global instance of Workfront. Our company uses Workfront to centralize project schedules and report on tasks that are due soon. That is the first level. We are starting to work with some business units on using the tool for planning resources and to better estimate their projects. The third part will be to do some forward planning in the tool and use it for staff planning. I just having this community is amazing. I like hearing the questions, issues and feedback people give about the tool. It is nice to 1) make sure that you aren’t crazy and this is something other people are struggling with, and 2) others can chime in with answers or workarounds. Everyone is at a different level in the tool and work different with the tool so it is great seeing their perspective. Because I’m the system admin for our global instance, I pretty much live in Workfront. My job is to problem solve, configure reports, etc. so it makes sense that I’m in it all the time. Outside of work, I love Broadway, opera, theater, concerts, movies, etc. I love being “transported” somewhere with characters to escape life for a little bit. I also love traveling and the law (and used to say politics in general, but this election season has discouraged me a little. But I still find how the law is created, implemented, and interpreted every interesting). My favorite joke- Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse! Optimist: Yes, it can!

    Hi Everyone! My name is Mini Sinha, I am a Project Coordinator and Co-Workfront Administrator at Excelsior College in the Marketing and Enrollment - Operations team. Excelsior is a distance learning college, based in Albany, NY, with student and faculty all around the US as well as military bases around the globe. I joined the college in January of this year and have only been using it for a few months. We are working towards using Workfront as a Project Management tool as well as a Request system for internal requests to our Marketing and Creative Services team.

    I'm looking forward to learning about how people have set up workflows as well how various companies have handeled an enterprise-wide rollout of Workfront. Currently we only have our Marketing team set up in Workfront but are aiming to get licences for most of the college to submit request and phase out of our old request system.

    This is my first LEAP conference and it's also my first time ever going to Disney so I'm super exited to be part of the conference. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you there!!

    Warm wishes, Mini

    The FAQ (https://www.workfront.com/en-gb/leap/faq/) says; What is the recommended attire for the event? The dress code for the event is business casual. We recommend you bring additional attire if you plan to golf and for the evening when we attend Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park.
