Use Workfront Blueprints to Optimize Your Work Management Environment!

Since the launch of Blueprints in 2021, the solutions represented in the catalog have primarily all been focused on Project Templates. We are excited about recent developments in the Blueprints product capabilities that now allow the creation of Custom Forms, Reports and Dashboards, Projects and Queues, and a variety of other configuration objects. 

 

While Blueprints product features will continue to follow the normal quarterly release patterns that we rely on for other product features and capabilities, new Blueprints solutions will be added to the catalog on an on-going basis as new content is ready. This means that the normal communication channels for releases are not the best mechanism for us to highlight and announce new Blueprints solutions. 

 

The purpose of this blog post is to provide Adobe Workfront customers visibility into the catalog contents that are being released. As we release new content to the Preview environment, we will make an announcement as a reply to this post to inform interested customers that they can check it out. We expect that most content will be made available in Production approximately two weeks after it is available in the Preview environment. 

 

If you have feedback about Blueprints capabilities or about the solutions we are providing through the Blueprints, use the Feedback buttons available in the Blueprints area of Workfront instead of commenting here. We absolutely want to hear your input, especially regarding the solutions you would like to see in the catalog. 

 

For more information about Blueprints, see the documentation section of Experience League.

How can I go about suggesting a new Blueprint template?

Blueprint Name: Workfront Usage Dashboard
Blueprint Type: Dashboard
Target Preview Release Date: September 29, 2022
Target Production Release Date: Week of October 3, 2022

The purpose of this blueprint is to help system administrators identify healthy usage patterns of key Workfront objects. By reviewing this dashboard regularly, you will be able to detect spikes or troughs in usage of Workfront. Additionally, you will be able to assess whether users are leveraging the functionality you intend them to use and measure the adoption of your processes as represented in the key activities you identify. You may find you need to modify the reports on this dashboard to fit the specific key activities for your organization.

Blueprint Name: System Administrator Maintenance Dashboard
Blueprint Type: Dashboard
Target Preview Release Date: September 29, 2022
Target Production Release Date: Week of October 3, 2022

The purpose of this blueprint is to help system administrators stay on top of their Workfront maintenance activities. Using this dashboard provides a digest of all the items a typical administrator will need to review to keep Workfront tidy and clean. End users appreciate this because unnecessary configuration causes confusion and loss of data integrity; not to mention gums up your processes.

Blueprint Name: Post-implementation: New use case rollout
Blueprint Type: Project Template
Preview Release Date: September 29, 2022
Target Production Release Date: Week of October 3, 2022

The purpose of this blueprint is to assist customers to expand their implementation of Adobe Workfront beyond the initial implementation scope. The project template contained in this blueprint assumes it is an expansion of use cases within an implemented user group. If growing use cases outside of a previously implemented group, we suggest engaging Workfront professional services or a partner consultant instead of relying solely on this template.

While this template was designed for newer customers that just completed their first implementation, it is expected this blueprint will also be useful to more established implementations as well.
