Hey everyone!

My name is Nate Bagley. I'm the new Community Manager here at Workfront.

My job is to support you, answer your questions, facilitate conversations, help you get to know the Workfront software better, and make this community a cool place for you to visit regularly. I'm really excited to get to know you all personally.

I'd love it if you'd upload a profile picture of yourself here is a walkthrough of how to do that if you get stuck ) and then introduce yourself briefly in the comments below by answering one or all of these questions:

How do you use Workfront?

What would make this community amazing for you?

How much time do you spend using Workfront on a daily basis?

What are you passionate about (other than work)?

What's your favorite joke?

Here's a little about me: I'm very passionate about podcasting, I love Lindy Hop dancing, my guilty pleasure is the Muppets, and I'm super excited to be here at Workfront. I know the team here cares about you a lot. They're really excited to meet a bunch of you at LEAP in a few weeks. Ok, your turn! Upload that profile picture , and introduce yourself!

Hi there! My name is Kat Lyon. And although I'm not new to Workfront, I am new to The University of Texas at Austin as a Design Project Manager in the Marketing and Creative Services department. I was brought on not only to help manage creative projects but also to help implement Workfront and to be an admin for the system. (UT Austin successfully poached me from NXP where I implemented and was an admin for Workfront, and a marketing project manager.) So, right now, you could say I'm starting from scratch again, and gladly. I love a good challenge! Our team is about to have its' kickoff call with the Workfront Implementation team next week and start the process of building out our instance. Since I've done this all before, I'm just itching to get into the system and make the necessary modifications to "make it our own." I especially want to see if I can improve upon anything from my past implementation experience. So, while we are not technically using Workfront yet, we have started drinking the Kool-Aid, and in vast amounts. But I do know once we get our instance up and running, I'll be in it A LOT! As for the Community, I think the depth and breadth of knowledge available within it is what is going to make it invaluable to me, at least. To know that there are others in the community with varying degrees of experience with the tool who may have insight into a particular issue I may be having with Workfront is amazing! When I'm not working on fun creative projects for UT Austin or strategizing on our Workfront implementation, I spend time with my family. I also enjoy reading books and watching films, especially anime. I just LOVE Hayao Miyazaki and the Studio Ghibli Films! That's about it. Thanks for having me!

There are a few WorkFront customers in Jacksonville I know about – Florida Blue has a strong presence on the community too. Please don't be shy.

Hello everyone. My name is Therese Graff. As a project manager, I've been using MS Project forever. I recently joined a company, where part of the organization has been using Workfront for several years. I like being able to build and share the schedule collaboratively. So we decided to use Workfront for the entire project. It's an adventure. Therese

Thank you Vic. No, I wasn't even aware of the conference. Thank you for the suggestion, but I don't think I'll be able to make that happen so soon, mostly because of budgetary constraints. Oscar Caglar SunTrust Banks, Inc

OK cool. Then here is a link to the various Training offerings from WF (which should be included in your purchase, so no extra money needed). They have Instructor Led Web classes, or just videos or previous classes, and some other options. You may find some interesting stuff there to help you out.

Hey Everybody, My name is Dave Breiter and I am the Graphics Work Group leader and manager of Bolton & Menk Studios. I am just getting my feet wet with Workfront as we are in the stages of building our instance and have not rolled it out yet. We will be using Workfront on an extremely small scale compared to most, if not all, of the rest of you which is a challenge. Along with our marketing team, we will have only 16 users in Workfront. I just recently stumbled upon this community when I had a question and I must say the support and responses have been amazing. I'm not sure at this point what could make this community better but perhaps the more I am here the more suggestions I may have. Like I said, I am just getting my feet wet so for the last couple weeks, I have spent MANY hours in Workfront. Learning, sweating, developing, crying, designing, bleeding and overall getting it set-up to be a smooth, easy to use system for everyone on our teams. What am I passionate about (outside of work)? Is there an outside of work?? I guess when I do find time outside of work, I am passionate about the outdoors. Whether that's working on a landscaping project around our house or going for a hike in the woods. Pretty much anything outside. And my favorite Joke. That's a tough one. Perhaps I'll feel more comfortable sharing that one once I get to know you all a little better. It's great to meet everyone!
