Workfront is very difficult to use for general planning if there are many job roles set up. This is always the case in large organisations. Finding the right job role is time consuming when the list is long. Most project managers start their project management activities using a role based plan as they do not know the actual team members.
I would like to see the following:
- Ability to choose the list of role types that apply to the project - this may hence only be 10 - 15 roles.
- Project 'switch' to allow roles to be selected just from the project role list and not the overall company role list.
- When resource assignments are made the role types will then just be the small subset selected. Allow the user to select from this list rather than having to start typing the role name.
This needs introducing asap as most users of Workfront in my company find the current approach very awkward tio use.
