Fresh out of the kitchen: the Project Manager’s Playbook AND Cookbook for Workfront

Hello Workfronters-- we're a little excited about this one!

Being a project manager in Workfront is basically three jobs in one. You're keeping work moving, coaching your team into good habits, and making sure the numbers leadership sees actually hold up. So we made two resources to have your back, and the best part is they're built to work together.

First up, the Project Manager's Playbook for Workfront. This is your strategy brain. It gets into how your org structure shapes what you can actually do, how to measure your impact without taking the fall for stuff outside your control, and how to talk about results in a way that lands with leadership, your team, and your admins. If you've ever been on the hook for reporting accuracy when the real problem lived somewhere else, yeah, this one's going to feel personal.

Then there's the Project Manager's Cookbook for Workfront, and this is where it gets fun. We asked what reports and dashboards you actually use every day, and you delivered. It's 10 recipes from real customers, everything from a quick weekly team task report to the big hygiene and resourcing dashboards. Every recipe comes with prep time, who it's for, and full step-by-step instructions, filters and text-mode snippets included. No guesswork.

Here's the magic: use the Playbook to figure out your game plan, then jump into the Cookbook to actually build the views that make it real. Strategy, meet execution.

So go ahead, take these into your own reporting kitchen and make them your own. And if you've got a report your team would riot without, drop it in the replies. Seriously, show us what you're cooking.
