Creative Briefs - Custom Form or Uploaded Document?

Hi all

Seeking info if your Creative Briefs are:

a) integrated into a custom form in WF; OR

b) separate documents uploaded to projects.

What has been successful for your group and why?

Any challenges with either format?

Do you have any method that you feel leads to amazing briefs (clear, concise, insightful, actionable)?

Our Creative team is looking to pull the creative questions out of Workfront custom forms into separate designed doc as a means to better written briefs and easier for creative team to absorb creative information.

Any insight is helpful. Thank you!

We've done both and settled on uploading creative briefs filled-out in Word, though we do have custom forms for basic project and billing info that needs to be reportable in WF.

We tried doing the brief in WF at he beginning but it was too rigid, too complex to maintain, and the "wall of text" way WF displays forms was too intimidating to users. NWE and Classic both have this problem in different ways.

    This is a great idea - would you be willing to share images or a video of what this dashboard looks like?


    Hello! Sorry I missed your message while out on PTO. I'd be more than happy to show you what I've done if you'd want to connect via a webex or something at some point.

    Hi Jennifer,

     

    Happy Holidays! I'm currently at the same place you were a year ago, where my organization is in the process of updating our Creative Brief. It is currently a Word doc, outside of Workfront, but it's very cumbersome to complete, and then very difficult to read when you're on the receiving end. I also wondered if this should be a WF form, but am leaning away from that. I would be curious to see what your CB ended up looking like, and how you ended up building it. Would you be willing to participate in a call with me to share your insight? I would very much appreciate any advice you can give me!

     

    Thanks,

    Marlene
