My photo was already there; does that count? Beth Massura Marketing

Hi Benetta, if I'm understanding the situation, the parent task duration seems longer than the sum of all the child tasks. The duration of a parent task can be skewed by one or more tasks that have a fixed date, must start on, or must finish on constraint that makes its dates far from the rest of th...

Portfolio and program configuration is a big question for us. We've had portfolios for each department we serve (we're an in-house Marketing department), but this doesn't make the most sense and we really don't utilize them for any planning for a few reasons: The Marketing department is the one ...

I work for an in-house marketing team responsible for executing a variety of deliverables - print pieces, websites, ad graphics, emails... Some of the team members were curious how our timeline templates compare to those used by marketing or creative agencies that do work similar to us. I've attache...

Wow; we've been using this report for at least a year and no one ever pointed out that the PDF attachment does in fact show my tasks, not theirs... Guess they haven't been looking at it carefully or maybe they're just clicking on the link to log in instead. Well, glad I found out via this thread! ...

Thanks for the input! Do the PMs keep track of the tasks that have either just a role or non-user assigned? Do they use the project's task list or a particular dashboard? Beth Massura Assistant Director of Operations, Marketing The University of Chicago Booth School of Business 5807 South Wood...

We have been using "placeholder" users for the past 7 years to represent steps in our processes that are done by our internal clients (ie, providing content, giving feedback, final approval). They do not have access to Workfront (no license) and for the most part, don't even know the system exists. ...

That's an interesting idea, Robert! So it's only the PM who creates the issues for your team? In many cases we PMs wouldn't know the details (ie, dimensions, word counts, etc.) but rather the project team members would be aware of these. Unfortunately they might forget to double-check what they deli...
