Hi Tammie, Agreed! Leap was great, went by so fast! Like @Tegwyn Stockdale , I'm also a production coordinator, with traffic & resource manager falling into my wheelhouse and I've been a System Admin for 8 months.
Does anyone know how to implement restrictions for Plan users that do not and should not assign others' work? We do have multiple project managers using the same pool of creatives (my team), but only I assign the creatives.
How do those of you multiple project managers assigning work to the same resource pool determine priority and address assignment bias, conflict and overload? Each creative reviews the requests and helps determine who can, or wants to, take on a project based on their schedule and interest. We do this in bi-weekly team stand-ups, and each day, individually.
How do those of you who are Traffic or Resource managers within one of these environments with multiple project managers who also assign/reassign work/tasks to the same resource pool you manage capacity, manage resourcing, and manage forecasting? How do you know when someone else has changed an assignment in Workfront, and now the projected dates or the job health has changed and the capacity is out of whack? None of the project managers assign or reassign creatives, but the creatives are allowed to reassign between themselves if they need to shuffle projects. We went live in January, so we're just starting to get our Portfolios, Business Cases, and Scorecards set up. This will be a huge help!
We're also looking into moving some (most?!) of our waterfall projects to an Agile/Kanban methodology. I'm interested to connect with anyone who's already done this and hear about their experiences. Regards! Sheri Whitten Gordon Food Service
