Parent/Child Projects

Are there any updates to this?  When I click on the beta link, it says testing is closed. Is there a projected timeline for when it will go live?

Hi folks, I'm excited to announce that we are rapidly approaching an opportunity to participate in the next phase of the beta for Workfront Planning (FKA "Project Maestro"). You can register your interest in participating in the beta here: https://www.feedbackprogram.adobe.com/c/r/field24

We'll open up access at the end of May, and you can learn more with this blog article: https://business.adobe.com/blog/the-latest/introducing-workfront-planning-building-and-activating-your-marketing-system-of-record

Any news on this? Project Maestro?

What is the timeline for Project Maestro?

Have you tried creating an issue inside a project (the project will serve as your master/parent project) and convert that issue into a project (which would then be your sub/child project)? You can display those sub/child projects via a report (an issue report that displays columns regarding the resolving project) on a dashboard that is added to your layouts at the project level. You can then view the details of any/all of the resolving projects (sub/child projects) of that master project by clicking on the dashboard within the project.

A "master project" template can be created with prebuilt issue topics and/or you can also set up a request queue that routes to specific "master" projects so those request submissions auto route and become sub/child projects upon conversion.

That's how I've built ours so we can have a master/parent and sub/child view of our projects.

Yes.. it is a must.. I just voted ur request

We recently announced Project Maestro at Adobe Summit, which is a response to these asks. Project Maestro is a broad effort to deliver a flexible system for:

1. Modeling the records that track your operational lifecycle activities, especially including strategic planning records like marketing "Campaigns". This can also be used to model the idea of a parent project that is able to summarize data from multiple Project objects (this will even work to like Projects from across Portfolios 🎉)
2. Viewing these custom records in a new spreadsheet style Table as well as a Timeline component that can deliver on asks for an improved "Marketing Calendar"

Project Maestro is currently in a "Closed Beta" while work to refine it with a set of customers that represent multiple industries and use cases.

Yes please voted.

Hi everyone,

To provide an update here, we are working on the first iteration of the new object that will unlock this use scenario. We plan to gradually add functionality to the object, bringing it to parity with existing Workfront objects. One key note, the object will not be bound by the limitation of projects needing to be in one portfolio/program. Using that, the users will be able to group projects from multiple programs and portfolios and manage cross-portfolio initiatives with ease. We will be providing updates on the enhancements as they become available with our Preview releases.

Hi @Chris Perrin

You can force a recalculation within your fusion scenario using the Miscellaneous Actions options.

Love to see the workaround. It is similar to other customers solutions as well as something we've used internally at Adobe Workfront. Also...note Vazgen's note earlier.
