Introduce Yourself - New!

Hi all! My name is Laurie Thompson and we are just now implementing Workfront at Evergreen Health here in Kirkland, Washington. I'm excited about all we are learning, and look forward to leaving the world of SharePoint/Excel/MS Project/email tools behind to manage our IT projects in Workfront instead. In my downtime, I spend time with my critters, go to concerts, read, and research my family tree. How do you use Workfront? We are not there yet, but we will be managing our IT projects in the tool. What would make this community amazing for you? To find answers to burning questions after we are cut loose from our implementation effort and the great support we've been getting from our PM & Consultant. How much time do you spend using Workfront on a daily basis? I envision I'll be spending most of my time in Workfront as I'll be an administrator What are you passionate about (other than work)? My husband and my kids... What's your favorite joke? I never remember jokes but I do love them. Here's one I think is cute: What did the green grape say to the purple grape? OMG!!! Breathe! BREATHEEEE!!! Have a fabulous day everyone! Laurie Laurie Thompson Evergreen Health

Hi Workfront Community! I am currently a Sales Analyst (with part time Workfront Admin duties). My use cases are tied to financial audit controls that provide tracking and centralized approvals for any changes to our pricing structure (promotional or otherwise). I have also created a new queue to support our payout process approvals. I am a passionate advocate for Workfront within my organization and am hoping to pioneer making it our OSR here. So far, this community has been amazing as is. I love reading other peoples ideas and being able to connect with other users. It also helps me to think outside the box when I am hitting a roadblock on something new I attempt. Between the community discussions and all the training articles, I feel somewhat unstoppable! I spend anywhere from 10-50% of my day in Workfront - I am the admin for six request queues, one of the queues is also managed by me, I have create a semi-automatic approval flow for two of the six request queues and I also maintain all the reports and the dashboards for each queue. Beyond work, I love getting out in my yard and am working to have a year round produce garden. My family is everything, my husband and I have two tiny humans, a giant dog (mastiff lab) and a senior cat (she's 15 today). We are hardcore Subaru enthusiasts; I have a 19 Crosstrek and he has an 18 Forester. Favorite joke? Too many to keep track of, but this is one that always comes to mind: What did one ocean say to the other? Nothing, they just waved. I'm a mom with some awesome dad jokes!

Hello everyone, My name is Albert Poulson and I am a Project Manager at HealthEquity in Draper, Utah. I've used Workfront now at my last 3 companies, totally about 8 years (back even in the AtTask days). I've spent a significant amount of that time as an admin and I love the tool, but I'm constantly learning more every day. A little about me... I'm a father of 3 (soon to be 4). I live in South Jordan, Utah and love the outdoors. When I'm not managing projects at work, you'll find me applying these same principles to my family life. My goal is to make my kids awesome project managers, which in turn should make them awesome people, right? In answer to Kyna's questions... What would make this community amazing for you? Active collaboration... a place I can go for answers and share my experience to help others as well! How much time do you spend using Workfront on a daily basis? A minimum of 4 hours per day. What are you passionate about (other than work)? Family, outdoors, and cooking! What's your favorite joke? Any good joke told by my 4-year-old. He's hilarious! Looking forward to working with all of you! -Albert

Hi all! I am Wendy Korson, from Covance! I manage teams within our Global Lab Support group, and one of my teams has just begun to use WorkFront for our workload management. I am super excited to see how this will positively impact my group and our clients. I'd love to get new ideas on how to better utilize WorkFront for my team. The team will be using WorkFront throughout the day, as it is replacing our current spreadsheet tracking system. I'm hopeful I will be able to pull more relevant reports from this system to facilitate resource needs and workload capacity. Outside of work, I am passionate about my family, and am a huge Chicago White Sox fan. My husband and I are currently visiting all of the baseball stadiums while the White Sox are playing; we have 2 remaining but will soon knock that down to 1, after we visit the Atlanta Braves stadium later this month. I look forward to seeing what I can learn from this community. Thanks! Wendy Wendy Korson Covance Inc.

Hi, My name is Eileen Dutra and I am the Director of Legal Resources for Pacific Legal Foundation. We are just in the process of integrating WorkFront and applying it to our legal projects. Since I am new to this I'm looking forward to learning best practices particularly for reports and dashboards and maybe ideas on how to apply the WF functions since we are using it an possibly a less traditional manner given the way we do our litigation. In my spare time I spend time with my family and love to cook and design landscaping ideas. Eileen Dutra

Hi Everyone - My name is Melody Bateman and I am an Associate Director of Marketing at OneMain Financial. We have an in-house agency with team members in several locations throughout the US. I am super excited to start using Workfront. We have used previous creative project management tools in the past and I am really looking forward to what Workfront can offer in the way of requestor insight, reporting, and collaboration. This will certainly streamline our process. Thanks, Melody Melody Bateman Onemain Holdings, Inc.

Hello All, My name is Sheena, I'm the Client Engagement Coordinator in the Strategic Marketing & Communications department at PeaceHealth. We've been using Workfront since early May. The majority of our team has never used a project management tool before so it's been a steep learning curve for most of our team. I'm really looking forward to learning how other organizations use the tool and have driven user adoption. How do you use Workfront? What would make this community amazing for you? I would like to learn best practices and/or what you're doing that is working well. How much time do you spend using Workfront on a daily basis? I'm in Workfront for the majority of the work day. What are you passionate about (other than work)? I'm passionate about spending time with my family/friends and enjoying the outdoors. I have two young children, a three year old boy and a five year old girl. We're located in the Pacific Northwest and I love experiencing the beauty of the outdoors through their eyes. What's your favorite joke? Hmmm... Not really sure I have a favorite joke. I do love people with a good sense of humor and that don't take themselves too seriously. Sheena Dold
