Help us build the Workfront Project Manager Cookbook — share your best “recipe”

If you've built a report, view, dashboard, or workflow in Workfront that makes your life as a project manager easier, we want to turn it into a recipe. The PM Cookbook is a community-driven collection of real Workfront setups — by project managers, for project managers. Think of it as your favorite recipe card, but instead of ingredients and steps, it's filters, fields, and the logic behind why it works.

 

What makes a great “recipe”?

Share something you actually rely on:

  • A report you run every week
  • A dashboard that stopped the constant “Can you send me a status?” pings
  • A view that finally gave your team one source of truth
  • A workflow that removed manual steps or confusion

If it solved a real problem for you or your team, it belongs in the cookbook.

 

What you’ll submit

To submit your recipe, you’ll need:

  • Recipe name
  • Prep time, yield, and who it serves (e.g., “10 minutes to build, used by PMO leads weekly”)
  • Report / view / dashboard / workflow type
  • Step-by-step instructions with screenshots
  • A screenshot of the final result

 

Download the submission form and return it to Jenna Martinez at jenmarti@adobe.com.
Once we have your form, we’ll handle the rest.

 

Join in

  • Drop a comment below if you’re planning to submit a recipe
  • Or tag a fellow PM whose Workfront setup deserves the spotlight

Let’s build a cookbook that new and seasoned Workfront PMs can actually use!

Count me in! I have three variations of the Project/Task Cleanup dashboard:

  1. Admin: Looks system-wide at how well owners are maintaining projects and tasks, but you could also extend it to issues. I check this quarterly to nag people who aren’t keeping things tidy, which has consequences for access, security, and reporting.
  2. My team’s work: Almost the same reports, but focuses on things owned by either reporting structure or common role. For example, we have a dashboard for the Brand team and another for the PMs who churn marketing materials through design and production. This is intended to be used by a manager or supervisor to hold a group of people accountable for data tidiness.
  3. My work: The same reports, but filtered to the person viewing the dashboard. This is intended to be used on an individual basis.
