Cool topic Kyna!

This month, my Top Three Initiatives include:

• Created a Workfront Project to track and map responses to an online campaign, effectively "Mapping the Grapevine"
• Developed a new image-centric Editorial Calendar for managing Social Media Campaigns (etc.)
• Developed a new Gantt Chart so PM's can crunch alternative schedules using Baselines and visualize the effect (whether Good, Bad, or Ugly), colorized by phase

One of the far too many projects I am working on right now is planning/organizing/conducting a complete property photo-shoot to make sure that all of our images are cohesive with lighting, styling and photographer. As fun as that sounds its a huge undertaking.

• 5 hotels that need every room option and common area, fitness center etc shot.

• 2 spas that need every room option, relaxation area, pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, salon etc shot.

• 4 casinos that need all the exterior/interior and gaming type areas shot

• 5 golf courses, 2 with clubhouses

• 31+ restaurants

• 25+ Meeting/Conference rooms

• 1 Car care garage

• 1 hunting Preserve

• 1 Salmon fishing campground

• 1 RV Park campground

• 2 convenience store chains

I'm sure there are more that I forgot. So as you can see I am going to be very busy this year. I just hope it doesn't take away too much of the time I spend learning more in Workfront (my preferred way to spend my time 😁)

But, Workfront has been a huge help with organizing all of this. Creating the steps for each shoot and being able to share my research planning through Proof HQ and eventually we review the photographers images through Proof HQ as well.

Wish me luck!

We have several large initiatives happening as well. Here are some of the most exciting:

1. an auto-send of Mailchimp survey to the primary contact upon closure of their request to gauge satisfaction
2. auto-send of status update emails at each milestone of a projects lifecycle to keep stakeholders up to date on progress
3. We just kicked off our first COE session this month!

I am fairly new at this company and finding all kinds of ways to optimize and expand Workfront in so many areas. I am sure you all know how it is... the Workfront word gets around and pretty soon other teams are reaching out for implementation for their own work processes.

Good luck everyone!

I love seeing what everyone is working on! It's giving me great ideas.

Lately, my top 3 priorities are:

1.) Learning to use Fusion and setting up basic scenarios to improve our efficiency

2.) Developing the resource management tool with my team using custom reporting and ever so many trainings

3.)Expanding our usage of Workfront throughout 6 core teams on our marketing department. That includes reporting, tracking utilization, customization, and again...ever so many trainings!

We just implemented Scenario Planner and Goals so I've been working on getting those set up. I'm also working on creating a request queue for our IT team for software requests and lastly I'm registering for the WF Intermediate System Admin Bootcamp and going for the certification!

Our focus in Q1 is piloting a campaign management model using a new campaign project template with embedded request queues, and expanding the user base with our regional marcomm teams across the globe!

This is helping me think of more things to consider

My top priorities are:

• Getting a 2020 baseline to start exploring how to tell the story that Creative Ops is achieving high-level goals within Workfront (better data clean-up, more efficient support, training users)
• Developing streamlined reports that can help all leaders instead of reports tailored to one specific team's needs
• Creating a Day in the Life guide covering my role's activities and the cadence
• Creating a Workfront Roadmap for our specific instance and growth plans to span 2021-2022

We are working on implementing Fusion in order for our instance to communicate with SharePoint and eventually Salesforce. We are trying to bridge gaps across 13 companies that the marketing team manages within our Workfront instance. #thejuggleisreal

In the proces of closing out some long-term projects, and soon to be working on a high-level milestone schedule for new, upcoming project.

It's so interesting to see what others are working on right now! We are still relatively new to Workfront, just about a year using the system. Our recent focus has been expanding use to other internal teams as well as setting up view only resources for our clients, with a more interactive future state. We're also working on migrating our teams to the new experience in the next couple months
