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!

This encouragement from Workfront to connect with other users and professionals is outstanding. I swear, we didn't fully understand all the benefits we were getting when we signed up! Kudos So here goes: My name is Katie Rotella. I work for the marketing department of Ball Horticultural Company (a global breeder and distributor of flowers and vegetables for home gardens ... a truly beautiful place to work!) Since starting here in '09 I've developed a passion for my backyard, including adding an herb garden (where we use Chocolate Mint in our homemade root beer recipes), and a coop full of noisy chickens. I've recently become a "dog person" when we adopted a Border Collie (Brooklyn) and a Newfie/Retriever mix (Moose). They give the best hugs and kisses, and can make any day brighter. I love following fandoms on Tumblr and getting memes texted to me from my kids. My new favorite "toy" is my Google Home and Assistant; please send help :) Implementing Workfront has been one of the most exciting events in our department, and I look forward to learning all I can. Hope to connect with this community soon on any obstacles we encounter, but so far it's smooth sailing. I'm sure we'll hit some roadblocks with late-adopters and techno-phobes ... any advice or links on that are be appreciated. Katie Rotella Ball Horticultural Co.

[NoelleMi]

Hi all! I am a Project Manager working in a Software dept. My answers are below: I am trying to use Workfront to manage my projects but am new to the tool so trying to learn how it was configured within my business. I am looking to use the Agile features in the tool and my company is not using that in that way today so I am on my own to figure out how to set up teams and dashboards/Kanban. I need to pull in ALL of my active projects into a kanban style board to view capacity and what my team is working on at a glance. I spend a good portion of my day in the tool, if I am not in a meeting I am most likely in Workfront. I am passionate about family, scrap booking, boating, reading. I don't ever remember jokes!!

[MichaelLa4]

Hi, new to Workfront and need all the help I can get. Too many people that use the product are self taught and we are all trying to create a standard process to using it. I am looking for a company in the North UK to learn from, site visit. I work in Manufacturing. We are using agile/scrum and waterfall approach, but not making use of the full potential and wanted to see what others were doing. I have a particular need to remove recording meeting minutes, yet want to enable actions with visibiliy. I am a project manager and spend a large amount of time in Workfront.

[RebeccaTi]

Hi Everyone! I've been on Workfront since starting our implementation in July, and LOVE it so far. I'm an admin, supporting Marketing requests & projects in our growing company. I also build the processes by which we do work. I would love to have a sounding board in this community to uncover & apply best practices to incorporate in our org, but I'd also enjoy helping others use Workfront effectively...now that I have my legs under me. I love learning, yoga, flying small airplanes, training horses, and my Montana lifestyle. I don't have a sense of humor, so jokes fall short on me. Just kidding. :) Looking forward to getting in here and making the most of us! Rebecca Timm PFL.com

Hello everyone, I am Chelly Barnard, and I am passionate about music and dancing. My guilty pleasure is that I sing along with the music during my exercise classes. Pretending to be giving a concert makes the class fly by! I am a project manager at Classical Conversations, so I will be using Workfront on a daily basis to shepherd projects through to completion. If I could get quick answers to things that are confusing to me, and tips on how to use the system more efficiently, that would make this community amazing for me.

Hi everyone! I used Workfront at a previous company and am a new employee with another organization. How do you use Workfront? Tracking for project status, and financial reporting. What would make this community amazing for you? Hearing about tricks for using the data to create awesome PowerPoint reporting to include charts. How much time do you spend using Workfront on a daily basis? 1 -2 hrs What are you passionate about (other than work)? Helping others What's your favorite joke? How many project managers does it take to change a light bulb? Trick question. They can't actually do it, it's an infrastructure problem. Kathleen Kientz St. Joseph's Health
