Parent & Child Projects + Gantt

Next to the request of having a WYSIWG Description in the Task, one of our main pain points is, that we cannot setup Parent & Child projects. Already in 2017 someone has brought that up (https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/workfront-ideas/parent-child-projects/idi-p/520427) but nothing happened although the idea had over 500 likes.

 

Let me shortly describe why this would be so important.

We have several customers that work with a year-to-year development budget. Means it is too much for only having one project in Workfront. But it is also no solution to have several projects with no connection as we need the summary of hours, budgets etc. and additionally to that a Gantt that shows all relevant tasks of the different projects. Thinking one step further, this Gantt should then also be able to be shared with the customer.

 

I am really curious if something like that is on the roadmap otherwise I am confronted with 20 project managers who all look for additional software in order to map this. And at the end of the day, it becomes inevitable to ask the question about the right overall solution.

I would love to see this as an option as well. I do a yearly roadmap with high-level items such as Documentation annual review, Monthly "Did you know?" communications, etc. It would be great to insert the individual projects as I create them under each of these "parent projects", for instance:

 

Documentation annual review:

  • Submitting a request
  • What is a Portfolio?
  • Viewing and Managing Favorites

Monthly Did you know:

  • Jan - Advanced searching functionality
  • Feb - Notification preferences
  • Mar - Dedicated Team dashboards
