Hi Everyone, My name is Imre (Imi), Automation Specialist in Vodafone - Marketing. My main role is building digital campaigns, but I was appointed to be one of the Workfront Sys Admins in our department. Before these I joint Vodafone as a Team Leader, but due to many reasons (private and professional) I've taken this path. Earlier I was working for Lexmark and a couple of years before for GE. I love cooking and swimming, traveling and different kinds of activities related to music. :) Looking forward to become an active part of this community. Glad to be here. :) Imre Magyar Vodafone

Hi - I am new to the company I am with and to using Workfront. I will be our traffic manager and excited to learn even more of the tool to be the SME for my team as we fully implement. How do you use Workfront? I will be our traffic manager and SME. How much time do you spend using Workfront on a daily basis? Currently a majority of my day as we test and get ready to fully deploy on our team. What are you passionate about (other than work)? Volunteering in any and every way. Most of my vacation from work goes to volunteering in some fashion. I also have a passion for coffee, M*A*S*H tv series, classic shows/movies/music. I am glad to be a part of the community to get tips, trick and help as we might need it. Katherine Rosenkranz

Hello all! PJ Morreale here, Head of YV Studios at YouVisit, a technology platform that enables clients to maximize the utility and conversions of their 360/immersive content. Really looking forward to implementing Workfront as a tool to manage the production and delivery of the hundreds of projects we complete yearly. We're especially excited about the html proofing features. Anyone else out there using WF to manage the production and client feedback of video/photo content? Would love any words of wisdom you may have.... -PJ Morreale "https://www.youvisit.com/tour/youvisit.studios/140164">https://www.youvisit.com/tour/youvisit.studios/140164 PJ Morreale

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

Hi everyone! My name is John Mitchell and I am a Senior PM at VSP Global, I work on the implementation team for one of our business units: Eyefinity. It is a optometry/ophthalmology end-to-end practice management solution that covers everything from patient check in to creating and shipping glasses and contacts. I'll be an SME for Workfront here at VSP. I'm brand new to Workfront, but I have used Basecamp, Wrike, Project, and every unholy spawn of Excel spreadsheet known to the lost souls roaming offices at night. If I could find a person that has experience making Workfront (and Fusion) work with JIRA, Confluence, and especially Salesforce would be amazing as we are just getting into pulling an existing Workfront implementation from our small business team and into the enterprise side. Heads up on pitfalls would be sweet! Hopefully all day, no projects are implemented yet. I'm passionate about working out at lunch, tinkering (woodworking, very poor soldering of LED-based projects with my kids), and once the kids/wife are asleep at night I do some gaming on the side. Not much time else for anything. What's a pirate's favorite letter? (Person starts to answer R) [Loudly interrupt in your saltiest sailor voice: NO ITS THE SEA YA LANDLUBBER!] Hope to talk to some of you soon! John Mitchell

Hi John, Welcome to the community! I think you'll find it very useful as you take on this new challenge. There are some very experienced users in here who have been down all the roads you're heading towards. We tested the Salesforce plugin successfully and we are a SSO shop. My advice there, make sure the salesforce admin who is installing the plugin is also a system administrator in Workfront (temporarily if needed). Other than that, the documentation for the installation is well done. --Narayan

"every unholy spawn of Excel spreadsheet known to the lost souls roaming offices at night." Dang , dude . Yer funny. I too have tried every PM solution floozy on the block. I just threw on the WF switch for my small team of five as part of a huge IT group and have started climbing the learning "curb" Good luck to you, Captain.

Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!! My name is Debi Ravareau and one year ago I set out to find an intake tool and a project management tool for our team. It was a long process with many demos, conversations, and tool comparisons. You won't believe how hard it is to find a tool that does both intake and projects. The journey has had it's ups and downs; I'm happy to say we choose Workfront and we are on our way to organizing our work, have better collaboration and overall vision of what's happening in our department. I hope to meet some of you during boot camp to your hear your successes and stumbling points. Debra Ravareau Centene - G&A - Communication
