Hi Erin, I could give you a lot of tips! And Dustin is correct, the new training is great. Good luck! -Ellyn Ellyn Kutch Old Navy

Hi Erin, We implemented a year ago, and my biggest tip would be that done is better than perfect. You don't know what you don't know when you implement, so the best way to learn, is to start with something , then improve it as you go. The nice thing about Workfront is that you can continuously improve it for your needs, which also makes it a little overwhelming. The community is a great place to ask questions and get really thoughtful and detailed answers from expert users! Good luck! Malisa Lieser Tennant

Hey all New here from VitalSmarts. I have gone through the training and am working on implementation. While this has been a challenging process, we are hopeful it will be worth it, in the end. Kelly McPherson Kelly McPherson VitalSmarts

Hi Erin, I began leading Workfront implementations 2 years ago. We have learned much along the way. The implementations I have led have a variety of different use cases, and as such, I decided to build onboarding documentation which guides me and the teams through all the details from configuration with regards to Portfolios, Programs, Job Roles, Groups, Teams, Access Level, Workflow, etc. This helps to develop the Workfront interface and also guides the training requirements. I also have a Training Requirements document that I walk through with the business owner to nail down those requirements, and finally I guide them through a Reporting Requirements document to draft out those needs. This also helps determine if any custom data elements need to be tracked. This is a jumping off point for us as the teams do evolve and their needs will grow and change, but it is a great way to fully understand their needs, educate them on the process and set expectations. This works well for us. Everyone is right, in that the community here is happy to help answer questions or provide their own experiences if they can be of any help. Good luck!

I completely agree. On Jan 1 we are rolling out our 2nd major revision. This will be our 3rd instance in 3.5 years. Graciously sent from my mobile device.

Hi Jaclyn, My name is Dave Koch and I am Digital Asset Manager for Sherwin-Williams. We are still in the contract stage but are heading towards a Workfront implementation. I have started the online training and find it pretty good but was intrigued with your implementation approach and documentation. As I am brand new to this community I am not sure if this is a normal request, but if you are able to share your approach it would be very appreciated. Thank you, Dave David Koch

Hi everyone, Just joined the community as we (PVH Europe) work through the implementation of WorkFront in our IT department. PVH is an apparel company with brands such as CK and Tommy Hilfiger in our portfolio. We're based in Amsterdam and will serve approx. 150 WorkFront users (resources). I'm excited to learn about the features and how we can map our processes to the tool...any support would be most welcome! I'll be trawling through the threads and posting requests for tips and your own experiences to help speed up my own learning process, so you might see a few messages bearing my name. Speak soon, Steve Stephen Evans PVH Europe B.V.
