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!

[CRWilson]

Hey everyone! My name is Chris Wilson and I manage a creative team at Bass Pro Shops in Springfield, MO. After drooling over Workfront for about three years, we just started our implementation process last week and I couldn't be more excited! Although, I must admit, I am slightly overwhelmed having just finished our 3-day on-site design discovery with Mark yesterday... I felt like my brain was going to explode a few times with all the information we covered! But we have a good team, and Mark did a great job and I know things will start falling into place soon. For our new instance, I've taken on the role of Champion, Project Manager, System Admin and Power User. Additionally, we have four System Admins total, three Trainers and all seven of us on the Core Implementation Team are Power Users. We are the Pilot group of just under 50 licenses (Creative, Marketing, Photography teams), but we hope to show early success with Workfront so it can roll out to other teams and departments in the future. Wish us luck! Chris

Hello, WF Community! I see a lot of familiar names in this list, so mine may be familiar to you as well, but I've made the move from Customer to Customer Success Manager for Workfront and I couldn't be more excited! For those who know me, I'm a huge advocate of the Workfront tools, so I'm looking forward to using my experience to help our customers succeed. I'm in Lehi for a few weeks for onboarding, but then I'll be working out of my home office in Minnesota taking care of customers in the midwest. I was born and raised in Minnesota and will probably never leave.....well, except to visit my in-laws in Florida during the winter months. I have three children-- Nick-23, Sam- 18 and Sydnie-15-- and a 90-lb black lab, Louie, who loves to cuddle. Looking forward to meeting many of you, here and in person! Deb Hapka Workfront

[sluna]

Hello! My name is Stephanie Luna. I am the Sr. IT Project Manager at Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union (www.rbfcu.org). We purchased and initially deployed Workfront for just for my ITPM team and recently have expanded it to multiple business units, even adding Proof and DAM for Marketing. We use the Workfront for IT project intake, scoring the viability of project requests against IT ROI questions, presenting IT project requests to our Executive leadership team for enterprise prioritization and running/tracking all ITPM-led efforts. Currently my team lives in Workfront (and loves it!). We run every manner of IT project in the system - software implementations, software upgrades, construction, facility moves, disaster recovery events, internal software development, etc. Outside of work, my husband and I have 3 (newly) adult children. We have 2 rescue dogs (who run the place....who are we kidding?) and spend a lot of our time involved in music - annual rock n roll cruise, hosting home shows, hosting bands when they have gigs in San Antonio, and attending concerts and home shows across the nation. I am excited to learn how the Community is using Workfront so my team, as System Administrators, can better serve our organization. Stephanie Luna, PMP, CSP Sr. IT Project Manager RBFCU

[nathana80099004]

Hi all! How do you use Workfront? We use it primarily for new product development, but hopefully marketing campaigns and other sundry endeavors. What would make this community amazing for you? Best practices for a given use case, sample text mode reports. How much time do you spend using Workfront on a daily basis? 1/2 hour- 1 hour (sys admin stuff, mostly) What are you passionate about (other than work)? family, outdoor activities, woodworking and home renovations What's your favorite joke? at present, any clean dad jokes ex. " I don't often tell dad jokes, but when I do, he laughs." Nathan Allen Little Unicorn

[Patrick_Yarnell]

How do you use Workfront? Just getting started, hope to see Workfront become our PMO, and main solution for both administering, working, visualizing our IT Projects, and eventually, the entire Enterprise's projects/work being accomplished. What would make this community amazing for you? Free exchange of ideas, and support via real business case solutions and mentorship. Learning what they cannot tell you in class. Help to avoid common pitfalls of early design/planning and implementation of Workfront at an Enterprise level, as we build our our own IT Queues/Forms/Programs/Project Templates within Workfront. How much time do you spend using Workfront on a daily basis? Very little at the moment, but hopefully a whole lot more in the near future! What are you passionate about (other than work)? People, and my family, and our community...along with a few hobbies (listed in bio) when I have time. What's your favorite joke? Hmmm...this one is tough...today: Question: What do you call a question asked by a "little person"? Answer: A small wonder. Patrick Yarnell Hylant
