Hi WF Community! Has anyone noticed a change in the order of events or the format leading up to the releases?
From what I remember, Workfront used to hold the live webinars first, then they would release each beta stage to the sandbox. Now, the beta releases are in the sandbox before the webinars are scheduled. My process / communication steps used to be to....
Watch the beta webinar
Email my admin group with the important highlights per beta release
Meet with my admin group during the "Customer Preview" month to walk them through everything they need to know for the "2018.1 Workfront Release"
I did look forward to the live webinars first, as my "heads up...here's what's coming." I had a little more time to prepare before my admin group jumped into the sandbox or emailed me with questions about the release in general.
Does the 2018.1 Release Activity Overview outline everything p lanned for this release? In the past, I would...
Refer to the individual Beta outlines on the help site and then look for the overview when we are closer to the preview stage.
Attend the hour and a half long webinar, compile all my notes from the beta releases, add anything I overlooked / any new functionality introduced.
Email my admin group one more time before our in person meeting, with the full overview, highlighting the important things I'll expand on when we meet.
If the release activity overview has everything ahead of time (with the specific beta call outs in red), that's fine, I may just need to rethink my communication steps a little. and one last thing...does anyone know if the new Home area will be replacing the My Work area all together? As I understand it right now, we can opt in to one or the other via layout templates, but is the plan to merge these two into one? I apologize in advance if this has already been outlined on the help site, I may be a little behind this month. Thanks for reading and I appreciate any feedback!
