Parent/Child Projects

I apologize if this is duplicate but I did not see it anywhere. We have a need to create parent projects that would live between the Program level and the current project level. While I understand that the work could be completed in one project using parent/child tasks we have many departments that would prefer to have their projects tracked separately. There would be many child projects which would roll up to many parent projects and into ONE program.

I saw some talk about this on the Global forum but that was it. Please help me vote up this feature request!

Thanks!!

Michael

This is a major need! This was a major need for my agency years and years ago when Workfront was "AtTask"!!


The structure could simply be:


  • Portfolio
  • Program
  • Campaign
  • Project
  • Tasks

It is taking 4 years to develop this? This was submitted in 2017 and is on the roadmap now, am I reading this wrong?


Any update on this?

Hi Everyone! I messaged the PM and asked her to post an update.

I'm also holding on making changes within Workfront because I'm pretty sure this would solve our issues as well. An update and timing would be appreciated.

I agree with Tracy--is there an approximate launch date for this functionality? This is one of the most oft-requested features of groups onboarding into Workfront. We have workarounds, but they're not optimal. Knowing generally when this will arrive will make it easier when discussing alternatives.
