Recommend for Marketing team All of our Marketing teams are using Workfront so that we have a 360 view and collaboration across our departments. Everyone can monitor projects in real-time and track progress - from requests through to delivery. (e.g. POS) We have been using it since 2014, so we now have an archive of projects that we refer to daily!

Falls Short For Agile Fortunately, if you're in tech chances are that you run your projects in some form of Agile. Unfortunately for you, this is where WF falls incredibly short. While it's incredibly flexible and allows you to do many things the more experienced you become with it, I can't help but feel that WF was built for something else. It seems like it was a MS Project competitor that was adapted for Agile work. The most mundane tasks like issue/bug creating and story pointing can turn from simple things into a complex exploratory mission in a UI that's been slapped together without thinking of intuitiveness and UX. If it was up to me I'd honestly use JIRA, but WF is ok.

Good stuff Workfront has a lot of great features and many ways to accomplish your company goals. That's a benefit but also can be a crutch when working with multiple people across many different states. The implementation process takes a while and the learning curve after implementation is quite large, so be sure to expect months before things run smoothly. Once it clicks for people, it's very intuitive and use becomes second nature.

New Workfront Geeks We purchased this tool at just about the same time our team was fed up with the current process we had for project management (excel spreadsheets). Users were able to adopt the product rather quickly and we have been tweaking the use of our instance since we launched. Overall, we have had a very smooth transition, just a couple of system bugs or workarounds we have experienced.

UI is a struggle for new users UI is a struggle for new users. The tool is designed for project managers, people who understand or who have had formal training in project management. The deal is, the majority of users aren't. They need a simplified version way to manage work, build out timelines, quickly update add remove tasks without have to thing about predecessors or task dependencies, etc.
