Introduce Yourself - New!

Greetings Team, I am excited to join the Workfront Community and learn from everyone within. We are new to Workfront, AMHCU is going through the implementation phase now. One of my more immediate things I would like to gleam from the community is how you implemented Workfront in your culture, specifically for those that did not previously have a structured PMO. I would like to learn the hiccups you experienced and how you drove adoption of it. I am passionate about helping people and living life to the fullest; work hard, play harder! Have a Great Day on Purpose!! Fawn Martin AVP Project Management American Heritage Credit Union

Hello WF Community! I work at Solution Tree in Bloomington, Indiana as the marketing operations manager for the marketing team. We've been using Workfront as a team for just over 2 years, though our team has grown and we have many new members, making it feel like we've just begun the implementation journey together. How do you use Workfront? We use Workfront as our primary project management and collaboration tool for all projects (no matter how big or small) in the marketing department. We're working as team to make this our primary system of record as well. What would make this community amazing for you? I'm just now getting to know the community. So far, it's great to read and hear from others that are working toward similar goals and solutions in their user groups. How much time do you spend using Workfront on a daily basis? From the time I arrive to the office until the time that I leave (and sometimes more), I am connected to Workfront. 5-10 hours per day. What are you passionate about (other than work)? I love to bake cookies, hunt morels, and paint/draw. What's your favorite joke? Hmm... I don't really have a favorite joke. I love listening when other people tell jokes, but I'm not great with recalling or retelling jokes. Happy to be part of this community and connect with like-minded individuals. Have a great day!

Welcome Kyna, Introducing myself... My name is Jaclyn Reiter. I am a Program Manager at Equifax. Within Equifax, I am the Workfront Product Owner. We started our Workfront journey in 2015 and have been steadily expanding and maturing. I implement Workfront strategically for new teams, I support Workfront, I define our Workfront strategy (or help leadership define it) and I created and lead our internal Workfront Support Network. We are called Workfront NATION. It consists of Workfront Champions who want to learn and get the most out of the tool. It has been in existence for almost a year and is going strong. We're also hiring a dedicated Workfront Champion role (System Administrator)...hint, hint. I have two young children. My little boy is 2 (almost 3) and my little girl is 7. Kyna, I can't offer you any suggestions on books unless you want to switch your genre from fantasy to children's books. But, hey, unicorns are considered fantasy, right? (just don't tell my daughter. she is making a solid case that they are in fact real). How do you use Workfront? Workfront is our Operational System of Record What would make this community amazing for you? Help recruiting for a Workfront specific role. It's really hard to recruit a Workfront guru y'all. It's like trying to find a unicorn! Suggestions appreciated!!!! How much time do you spend using Workfront on a daily basis? It has become more than a full time job. There aren't enough hours in my day to get everything done that I need to regarding Workfront. So...8 to 10 hours per day using Workfront, each and every day. What are you passionate about (other than work)? Passionate about being a mom. I love, love, love my kids. They are great little humans. I like being around them and spending time with them. We're into gymnastics and youth theater. What's your favorite joke? Such a simple question, yet so hard to answer. Is there a favorite? Hmm... I definitely got a great laugh from the Cat Herders video. If you haven't seen it, or if you don't know what I'm talking about...you should definitely check it out: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTwJzTsb2QQ" title="Herding Cats"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTwJzTsb2QQ . Or just watch it again if you need to crack a smile today. :) I look forward to meeting you, some of you or all of you, at LEAP. Have a fantastic day!

Hello All, We are just into our second year with Workfront and looking forward to learning Next Phase strategies and hopefully becoming a reporting Ninja. Today on Facebook I was taken back to a post I made about last years Leap and was reminded of how I described Workfront and Leap to my non-technical friends. "The Workfront Leap conference is where we go to hone our skills of providing structure and constraint, so that people can have flexibility and choice" Look forward to seeing/meeting you.
