Monthly Hot Topics from your Workfront Scale Customer Success Team

Welcome to our Monthly Hot Topics Blog!  

First things first – if you’ve seen our Hot Topics posts in the past, you may have noticed that this update is posted as a Blog instead of a Discussion.  

Why did we do that? Our hope is to make our recurring updates and our series updates easier for you to find, AND to provide a way for any “non-Sys Admins” to receive notifications when we share upcoming events and hot topic posts.  

How will this work? Each month we’re going to post a new Comment with all the latest events, news, and posts to (hopefully) make finding updates much easier.  

To make sure you get the latest, you’ll want to subscribe (and make sure to encourage your Group Admins and Power Users to subscribe too). How do you do that?

  1. Click the 3 dots in the top right of this post. (It’s called the Kebab Menu! Just learned that today!) 
  2. Click Subscribe. 
  3. Then relax and wait for the notifications to come in every time we add a new comment to this post.  

Here’s a screenshot:

If you have any questions in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out via email at csatscale@adobe.com. We look forward to connecting with you! 

Cynthia, Leslie and Nichole

December 2023 Hot Topics! 

Let’s put the kettle on and have a cozy cuppa as we head into the shorter, colder days of December. (Or something iced-cold and refreshing for our friends in the Southern Hemisphere!)  

Either way, take a minute to find out what’s happening in the Workfront Community. 

First things first! We have a new system for recording our Scale events and will be updating the links on our Event Follow-up posts. 

For more info, questions, or challenges with links, head over to our post: 

New to Workfront? Our Onboarding blog is chocked full of resources (including some new presentation decks!) to help your organization achieve maximum value from Workfront through accelerating adoption, establishing governance, and guiding your path to maturity.  

The Workfront recordings from the August 2023 Experience Makers Skill Exchange customer learning event are now available, On-Demand on Experience League! 

To make it easier to find all the recordings, we’ve added the links to all the sessions on this post: 

Here’s a few more recent Experience League posts: 

As we head into the end of the year, just a few last thoughts for this update. @NicholeVargas , @LeslieSpier, and I are so grateful to all the customers who engaged with our events this year. Your leadership, patience, humor, and endless generosity continues to amaze us, and I know that we all feel very lucky to be included in this Community. 

We have some fun events still coming up in December and more new ideas coming in 2024, so we hope to see you soon. Looking for the details? Here’s our monthly event post: 

For those customers that haven’t had a chance to join one of our Scale events, we wanted to offer a glimpse into the generous advice that other customers share. During our most recent Ask the Experts event, a deeper discussion of Adoption via training and enablement, customers shared their best practices and recommendations, including: 

  • Involve your users – in the training, in the decisions (where possible), in the comms process to gain buy-in and champions  
  • Exercise all of those “Change Management” muscles when planning and implementing training  
  • Consider the Learning Curve, strengths, and the personalities of your users, and lean-in to what works best for those users 
  • Not trying to get them to do everything perfectly all at once - choose different areas to focus on for best practices until it is a habit and then move to another area of focus 
  • For those users deeply loyal to their spreadsheets, help them look beyond themselves to visualize an “Enterprise Mindset” to craft communications and reporting that will resonate with the entire team 
  • Find ways to put their Excel data into Workfront. Deliver them reports and dashboards that look darn like their Excel. Selling point: Workfront is live data.  
  • To try and help with user adoption, consider comparing WF to Excel - explaining it as a more advanced interactive real time spreadsheet, that can be easily reported on. It's been a light bulb moment for some users that has really helped with user adoption.   
  • Be a squeaky wheel. Keep demonstrating/name dropping Workfront as a tool for efficiency. Offer to help them get there.   
  • Find out why they are being "defiant" it could be a training issue, could be an access level issue, or it could be a complete workflow oversight.   
  • Make Workfront as easy as possible to use, understand, and find what they need  
  • Build a Workfront community within your org and make it fun! Examples: 
  • Thankful Thursdays Comms 
  • Slack Channels with GIFs and emojis  
  • Teams or SharePoint pages  
  • Workfront Fun Projects 

If you want more info about Workfront Training ideas and missed the original webinar, no worries! We have the recording, presentation deck, and discussion link right here:

Let’s start the year out on the right paw and check out what’s happening in the Community. 

Summit! Now that we’re on this side of New Year’s, Adobe Summit is coming up fast! Looking for the latest info for Workfronters at Summit? Subscribe to our Summit post for all the updates: 

New Events! We have some fun events still coming up in January and more new ideas coming in 2024, so we hope to see you soon.  Looking for the details? Here’s our monthly event post: 

24.1 Release! Quick reminder that the first release of 2024 is coming up, so we’ve got some resources for you: 

ICYMI! And as always, here’s a list of a few more helpful Experience League posts: 

Sharing is Caring! For those folks who weren’t able to attend our December Workfront Collective event (formerly Strategic Admin Chat, we discussed Roles & Responsibilities and how to communicate those expectations. Customers offered their advice and experience, that we wanted to share out: 

  • How do you decide the number of Sys Admins – too many/not enough? When assigning access (or limiting it), consider their role in the project process, the hierarchy within the org, and any enterprise policy parameters that can provide guidance first before bucketing users into license and access types. 
  • Outside of System Admins and Group Admins, most users have no idea of the scope and depth of Workfront functionality, so when they expect or request more access or a specific type of role, they might not understand what they’re really asking for, and more importantly, what they will be getting. 
  • Communicating how roles translate into Workfront processes, and sharing what you expect from those users (even in the form of a quick RACI-style document), can go a long way. 
  • Some other ideas & best practices shared: 
  • Checking Audit Logs / User Logins for type and frequency of Workfront access 
  • System Admin Job Description – is everyone “accepting” of their responsibilities.  
  • Help users think about their role outside of the context of Workfront – asking, “would this person have this authority/function without the Workfront process/access?” 
  • Ask users what they are trying to do or hoping to be able to do in the system and give access for that specific responsibility 
  • If needed, don’t hesitate to create custom Access Levels – just make sure to name them with something that will make sense to any Sys Admin reviewing later down the road. 

The Workfront Customer Success Scale Team has so many cool things planned, so we hope to see you soon at an event!

Adobe Admin Console Posts on Experience League - Just a reminder for those customers that haven’t moved to the new Admin Console, here are some posts to help you navigate the change.  

Great ideas from Customers! During our February Collective event, we discussed how everyone handles “archiving” projects in Workfront. Customers offered their advice and experience, including:  

  • Using Custom Forms to “tag” older Projects: 
    • Mktg Ops data form with a field for archive older than x years (bulk edit quarterly)   
    • We have a custom project field to list the product plan year for our learning projects.  So completed/archived projects remain in the same program, but they're only visible if you change the view to see a previous year. 
  • The only thing we have really had to "archive" are Requests on a VERY active request queue. After too many requests it gets buggy, so we move the requests from the queue to an "Archive" project to keep them for reporting purposes but to keep the queue clean. Typically, I'll have an archive project for each half of each year. The "Archive" projects have a custom "Archive" status for ease of reporting.   
  • We get the project number from Workfront and then go to our archived job folders on SharePoint, which are archived by job number, to find the project files.   
  • I wouldn’t suggest moving things. I think the historical data loss would be too much for me to handle. For large volumes of older Projects, a Report with prompts can help limit the results as well as “un-sharing” Projects so they no longer show up in the search. 

Can’t wait for more updates after Adobe Summit!

Welcome to May Workfronters!

It’s time to gather together and celebrate all the new content posted in the last few weeks. 

May offerings are on the calendar! We have some fantastic events scheduled this month, so register today so you don’t miss out! 

Did you miss some of our April events? We posted several on-demand recordings so you can participate at your convenience. 

Speaking of recordings – we have two new short videos to share! 

Let’s talk ideas! Did you see the latest blog? Our fearless Sr. Community Manager, Jon Chen (@jon_chen), has been working with our Product partners to improve our ideas process. Check out his blog below, where he’ll share more updates in the coming months. 

Upvote opportunities: In the meantime, check out these ideas that have been shared by customers in our last few events, and don’t forget to give them a “like.”  

We say it all the time, but just a reminder that the best part of any Scale event is engagement from YOU -  our customers!  As an example, if you didn’t get a chance to attend our Workfront Collective last month, check out the advice shared by customers on Strategic Practices for implementing Resource Management. 

  • Prioritization of work is key in order to identify where resources can be moved   
  • The order matters.  Evaluate work first – for requirements, for priority, for approval from leadership.  This is where a governance process comes in handy.  
  • Speaking of governance Find your “hammer.” That person that has thick skin, the ability to communicate and maintain relationships, but that also knows how to say no.  
  • Sharing is caring. Using your voice to share what realistically can and can’t be done as well as advocating for others that might be overwhelmed is powerful.  
  • Make sure the lines of communication are open.  Maybe even daily meetings to start, to check in on priorities, resources, and new requests.  
  • Planned work doesn’t have to be requested. If you’re building a backlog process, work that is already anticipated can be the first items on the backlog.   
  • Align work to scorecards and organization strategic initiatives.  Maybe start with the “planned” projects – the ones that everyone is familiar with to build that process.

Go for the Gold, Workfronters! 

It’s August and we have Olympic fever so let’s get straight to the resources that will help you cross the finish line. 

Upcoming Events: First things first – we have a ton of events coming up that you won’t want to miss! 

On-Demand Events: Just in case you did miss these incredibly popular events in July, we have the recordings ready for you, on-demand!  

New Blueprints! The team released two new Blueprints, and they are already getting great reviews! 

Can’t Miss Posts! There is always something great being shared on the Workfront Community so here are just a few samples. 

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work! Did you miss our July Connect: Admin Chat for Marketing & Creative event? Customers shared tons of best practices during our discussion that we wanted to share with everyone! 

  • Simplifying work, processes, and overall system management   
    • Minimize the number of job roles! The more basic a role is, the better.  
    • Consider Workfront Fusion to automate routine work or manual, time consuming processes. Don’t have Fusion but want to learn more about building the business case? Join us on August 27 for a session on Making the Case for Workfront Fusion.  
    • Turn off unwanted email notifications and encourage your users to only keep what is necessary – they have the freedom to edit their notifications in their profile.  
    • Build yourself a Maintenance project so you can stay up to date on current processes and general system cleanup. Not sure where to start? Check out this post on the Experience League Community, Year End Activities & Maintenance.  
    • Utilize the favorites area, pins, dashboards, and layout templates to simplify the user experience and your own personal navigation.  
  • Best practices for refining creative request forms while keeping historical data  
    • Leverage Section Breaks to hide old or archived fields so that only relevant information is shown to users filling out the form (this will retain historical data).  
    • Avoid renaming fields, if possible, so that integrations are not impacted.  
    • We’d love for you to share your creative brief processes, examples and best practices on the Community Coffee Break thread on Creative Briefs.   
  • Milestone paths  
    • Can give an at-a-glance view of project status, especially for leadership. Milestone view is great but it’s not exportable.  
    • Interested in giving it a try? Here’s a tutorial on creating a milestone path and milestone steps.  
    • If you don’t like the built-in milestone functionality, you could set up your own via a custom form.  
  • Managing users no longer with the company  
    • Deactivate versus delete to retain historical data associated with that user.   
    • Install the Blueprint, Departing User Dashboard, so that you can easily re-assign or move work still associated with this user  
    • Consider building/using a User custom form to capture information like the date they were deactivated or other HR-related fields  
    • Utilize filters within the Users area to only show Active users  
    • Create custom views within the Users area to show user-specific information like access level, license, last login date, job role, home team, manager, etc.   

We’ll be posting new videos next week and are working on the September schedule now. Hope to see you all at an event soon!

Just like the song says...Ba-dee-ya...Dancing in September....  Let’s get dancing with the latest updates! 

Did you miss the Workfront Skill Exchange in August? Subscribe to the Event Follow-up post to get the latest updates and notifications of the recordings. 

Hot off the press! Skill Exchange recordings are available on demand!

August is full of vacations and back to school prep, so just in case you missed our other events, here are the links to those sessions. 

Speaking of events, you won’t want to miss the sessions we have scheduled for September.  Make sure to register today! 

Short on time? We posted more short videos in August, including a great customer use case from @Kiersten_K!

Did you miss our last Workfront Collective? We crowdsourced lots of ideas, including managing tasks pending completion, using calendars to maximize workflows, and the deprecation of Legacy Home.  Just in case you hadn’t heard the news, Legacy Home will be deprecated during the 24.10 release (planned for October 17, 2024).   

Not sure if your users are ready? Here are some of the ideas we discussed during our session. 
How to check and see if users are still using “old” home:  

  • Use Text Mode to add this view to your User Report / User list. (Quick reminder that text mode doesn’t always love copy/paste, so you may have to type it from scratch if you get errors.)  Thanks Randy & Katherine for sharing this during the session!  

Text Mode option 1 

 

displayname=Workspace opt-in  
listdelimiter=<div>  
listmethod=nested(userPrefValues).lists  
textmode=true  
type=iterate  
valueexpression=IF(IN("home-workspaces-opt-in",{name}),CONCAT({name}," - ",{value}))  
valueformat=HTML  

Text Mode option 2 

 

EXISTS:a:$$OBJCODE=USERPF  
EXISTS:a:name=home-workspaces-opt-in  
EXISTS:a:userID=FIELD:ID  
EXISTS:a:value_Mod=notnull  
  • Also, if you aren’t sure if your users are ready for New Home, you always have the option to set the Landing Page as a Dashboard if that works better for your team.  Here are the steps:  
  • To add a dashboard as the Landing Page, from the Layout Template, click the drop-down arrow in the Lange Page section. 
    • Click Add Dashboard at the bottom of the list, then do the following:  
    • Type a name for the dashboard in the Quick link name field.  
    • Start typing the name of an existing dashboard in the Choose a Dashboard field, then click the dashboard when it displays in the list.  
      • TIP - You must build the dashboard before it appears in the list. 
  • Looking for more info? Check out the article - Legacy Home deprecation guide.  

 

See you in October with more updates!

October 2024 Hot Topics

Happy October Lions! Let’s head out to the pumpkin patch and check out all the new updates. 

Interested in hearing how other customers are using Workfront to support their organization's processes? Don't miss these events in October, where you will have a chance to get insight from other customers on their best practices, recommendations, and lessons learned.  

Want more? We have more free events where you can connect with other Workfront customers to ask questions, share solutions, and build your community of like-minded peers.  

We also have two new recorded events available on-demand! 

During the September Collective session, we discussed ideas around schedules and time-tracking.  Check out the advice shared by customers during the event:  

  • To view time off, consider building a Time Off report or use a Calendar report to pull in the users’ names and dates for quick visibility.  
  • Automatically capture the original project timeline (dates) when it moves to a Current status using baselines. This is a great way to compare original vs current state to understand what dates have changed.  
  • For schedules, if considering client schedules, you can add a schedule for their unique days off, and then “assign” this schedule to a “client” user.  Once assigned to this schedule, then their tasks will take into account their days off which are different from ours. 
  • For different time zones, think about some different approaches using the system:  
    • Define Time Zones: When setting up the schedule, you can specify the time zone for each user or group. This ensures that tasks and deadlines are aligned with the local time of the users involved.  
    • For Users schedule, navigate to the User's Profile: Go to the "People" section in Workfront and select the user whose time zone you want to view or update. And when you pull the user in a project, it goes of a user's time zone.  
    • Time Zone Setting: In the user details, you will find a field for the time zone. You can select the appropriate time zone from the dropdown menu. 

Hope to see you at events in October!
