Possibly. I don't know the repercussions off the top of my head but I do know there are a lot of people who are violently against doing it that way, though I couldn't tell you all the reasons. Not doing it that way was part our SOPs before I joined the firm or became an admin, so I don't know the pi...

THIS!!!! I have never found a PPM program that allows for handling this well. Ideally, what would be great would be for Workfront to allow for dual constraints. That way you could make the START DATE of the task Start-to-Start with the Start of the project AND END DATE of the task Finish-to-Finish w...

So, when I tested earlier I put my two tasks at the start date of the project so it was unable to a "-xd" because a task can't be before the start date. I knew I wasn't crazy... In general, the minus days works but you have to put in the dependency type letters when creating it. To add to the other ...

I'm not going to lie, I feel like you could do this at some point. Maybe it was a fever dream, but I could have sworn in the past I had done a ss-xd type dependency and it worked. But I tested and it doesn't, which raises the question of whether it worked at some time. If there isn't a better way th...

Just curious, do your Project Owners, for examples the PMs running the projects, tend to mark tasks they know are complete at 100% on behalf of the users they are assigned to? In our case, less than 10% of our Task Assignees bother to go into their tasks and click "I'm Done". As a result, the PMs (i...

Like others here, we do all "real" budgeting and expense tracking in a separate financial system but use Workfront to track the forecasting, budgeting, and expense tracking at a project level. This is for two reasons: 1) our financial system doesn't allow for tracking at the project level (it just k...

I had the same thought about leaving everything but e-mail. My hesitance is that my e-mail, which starts 'jmaust' is in itself fairly identifiable. And e-mail address is a data element specifically called out by GDPR. I don't know if it matters that the e-mail is no longer valid. Jason Maust McGuire...

If you have not been caught up in the global craze that is GDPR, then count yourself lucky! However, if you have information on EU Data Subjects in your Workfront environment, it's probably something you've put some thought behind. In particular, there is one area that I have questions on that I was...

Could this be done with the Descriptive Text custom field type? I recently used it on a form in a similar manner to provide directions on what to do with the form once complete (regarding adding an approval path and setting the issue to a specific Status so that it moves into the approval stage). Yo...

While we very rarely convert an Issue into a Task, I would agree that the term "In Progress" does not do an adequate job of relaying exactly where an Issue is at in the life cycle of getting resolved. For us, there is a little bit of a chicken-and-the-egg problem. It would be great to have people up...
