Hi all, I am Rachel. I am a project manager and account coordinator at Merkle. I am based in Maryland. I am very new to Workfront as we are just starting to roll it out to my team! I plan to use Workfront for scheduling and resource planning. Setting things up has me in Workfront about 60% of my day but soon I am sure that will rise once I am done training my team. I am very passionate about the Washington Capitals and enjoy doing just about anything outdoors. Rachel Lanza Merkle

Hi all! I'm a newly appointed PM in my organization and we are in the infancy stages of building a cohesive and digestible process for our marketing department. I have 14 years experience in hospitality and events, 2 years experience in advertising and now am tackling project management (lord help me!) Our org is new to Workfront and I'm in charge of the configuration and training before we roll it out to my employees. We hope to be fully configured and operational in the instance by 12/1/18. I welcome any tips or templates you use in your organization that help to drive process and communication. I look forward to chatting with you all. Janine Janine Beck NextGen Healthcare

Greetings, My name is Peyto Yellin. I'm a Project/Traffic Manager at CareOregon, a health insurance provider. I work in the Brand, Marketing, and Communications department, working with designers, writers, web and video producers. We're using Workfront as a comprehensive workflow management system. I'm looking forward to engaging with the community to get insights into any challenges that pop up along the way. I'll be using Workfront just about 75-80% of the time. Outside of work I'm passionate about music and art. Helvetica and Times New Roman walk into a bar. "Get out of here!" Yells the bartender. "We don't server your type!" (groan.) Cheers!

Hello, I am new to Workfront and marketing. I just joined my current team about 2 weeks ago after being in Supply Chain for almost 8 years. I am excited to dive in and learn a whole new area of our company. My primary responsibilities will be to help develop and document efficient process flows and best practices along with becoming the subject matter expert on Workfront and Workfront Proof.

This encouragement from Workfront to connect with other users and professionals is outstanding. I swear, we didn't fully understand all the benefits we were getting when we signed up! Kudos So here goes: My name is Katie Rotella. I work for the marketing department of Ball Horticultural Company (a global breeder and distributor of flowers and vegetables for home gardens ... a truly beautiful place to work!) Since starting here in '09 I've developed a passion for my backyard, including adding an herb garden (where we use Chocolate Mint in our homemade root beer recipes), and a coop full of noisy chickens. I've recently become a "dog person" when we adopted a Border Collie (Brooklyn) and a Newfie/Retriever mix (Moose). They give the best hugs and kisses, and can make any day brighter. I love following fandoms on Tumblr and getting memes texted to me from my kids. My new favorite "toy" is my Google Home and Assistant; please send help :) Implementing Workfront has been one of the most exciting events in our department, and I look forward to learning all I can. Hope to connect with this community soon on any obstacles we encounter, but so far it's smooth sailing. I'm sure we'll hit some roadblocks with late-adopters and techno-phobes ... any advice or links on that are be appreciated. Katie Rotella Ball Horticultural Co.

Hi Everyone! My name is Jenny Drelich. I am based in Chicago and I am the project manager for Vocation Crowd Inc., a mission driven startup venture. I am new to Workfront and hope that this community will allow me to learn the nuances of the program and help me connect with like-minded professionals. I enjoy playing golf and trying new things just for the sake of doing something new. I don't have a favorite joke but enjoy a good laugh so please feel free to share. Jenny Drelich

Hi all! I am a Project Manager working in a Software dept. My answers are below: I am trying to use Workfront to manage my projects but am new to the tool so trying to learn how it was configured within my business. I am looking to use the Agile features in the tool and my company is not using that in that way today so I am on my own to figure out how to set up teams and dashboards/Kanban. I need to pull in ALL of my active projects into a kanban style board to view capacity and what my team is working on at a glance. I spend a good portion of my day in the tool, if I am not in a meeting I am most likely in Workfront. I am passionate about family, scrap booking, boating, reading. I don't ever remember jokes!!

Hello! I'm Michelle Avedian. Art Director for Northwell Health. We are just beginning to set up Workfront for our in-house agency. I'm super optimistic that this will be help cut down on some of the craziness we experience day-to-day and very happy to see there is a message board to get tips from other users!

Hi, new to Workfront and need all the help I can get. Too many people that use the product are self taught and we are all trying to create a standard process to using it. I am looking for a company in the North UK to learn from, site visit. I work in Manufacturing. We are using agile/scrum and waterfall approach, but not making use of the full potential and wanted to see what others were doing. I have a particular need to remove recording meeting minutes, yet want to enable actions with visibiliy. I am a project manager and spend a large amount of time in Workfront.
