Minneapolis Fall 2018 User Group Meeting Topics

[TinaVr]

Hello All: We are excited to be hosting the upcoming Fall 2018 Minneapolis User Group Meeting at Thomson Reuters in Eagan. We are looking for topics of interest so we can ensure we have a good lineup for a great afternoon session. Are there key topics of interest that folks would like to see on the agenda for our August 28th Meeting? Please respond with suggestions and we will work with our Minneapolis Steering Committee to pull together. Thank you and we look forward to seeing many of you soon!

Hi Tina - I would be interested to learn from others how they are finding success in using the new Resource Budgeting functionality that is replacing the legacy resource estimate. We are not having success and struggling to determine how the functionality will help us without introducing A LOT of extra work for our teams. In addition, if there are MPLS teams out there that have found a good way to use the new Resource Planning functionality, I'd love to hear about that. For us, we haven't been able to find the value and continue to face challenges when trying to do any type of resource planning within Workfront. Let me know if you have any questions.

Sheila, We are likely purchasing the "Optimize Resource Management" professional services package from Workfront which gives us 3 days of consulting to implement the new Resource Management. I'd be happy to provide an update on where we are at and lessons learned since we should have gotten through the pilot phase by then. I think there quite a few other users in our group who would also like to know more. Thanks, Jean Jean Chapdelaine Sr. Manager, Program Execution NovuHealth

I can pull together some less advanced tips & tricks to share. Some ideas (and I am sure I'll come up with more). Relating dates across projects (we use this to align separate marketing projects with our product launches) Using custom Views/Filters/Groups instead of making report variants Embedding generic dashboards on projects to get project specific insights Matt Marks Banner Engineering Corp.
