Hey Jim, We are using a Workfront Project to Model the Epic in these scenarios. I changed the Terminology for my Workfront user in their Layout Template from Project to Epic for this video. I have also worked with customers who use the Program Object to model Epics in Workfront. This is native funct...
Hey Jim, brOne possibility would be to model this would be to use the WF Project as an Epic, WF Parent Task as Story, and WF Sub Task as task in your example. This would be able to show a complete roll up of the completion percentage / other data. There is not currently a way to map the parent tas...

I have used reporting groups (on status like the Kanban board) to get similar information. I also will include the status field in the columns so I can quic...
Thank you for your reply! This is great. I think we are all feeling that pain right now - I will do some research and see if I can come up with some work arounds.
What are you finding to be the most difficult thing to measure? We know that adjusting from typical project management measurements to Agile measurements can be hard for the rest of the organization. What out-of-the box reports are you using? And, even better, has anyone created a report or chart fo...
Hi Ellen, This is a great question! @Melissa Pickering‚ has some great ideas! I love to hear a bit more on how you are implementing WSJF.
