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.

Great overall with a few feature limitations Overall, Workfront is great! It is robust enough to meet the changing needs of various teams and workflows. We have queues, project workflows, and approvals all in Workfront which helps us stay in-tune with each other well. The newest interface change is not the best. The wireframe nature of it is a little hard to consume, especially when it comes to comments and update feeds. There are some custom form limitations that I wish were solved, but feature requests are in, so we'll see what happens.

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.

Concept is good and there are a lot of … Concept is good and there are a lot of advantages. The reporting is difficult to learn and too many clicks while using on regular basis. It really requires a full time staff member to become an expert.

Love Workfront for waterfall, proofing & Intake - Agile needs work For the most part, Workfront is pretty easy to use. It works well for waterfall projects. Customization is highly flexible (almost TOO customizable)! The reason I gave it 3 stars vs higher marks is due to the limited agile functionality. We are having trouble adapting teams who are used to JIRA to now use Workfront. It's a constant challenge as JIRA users want some of the same function in WF and it's just not there yet. Overall though, Workfront has aided our move from a manual proofing process (sending big PDFs through email) and has helped streamline our intake greatly. Their support & help services are stellar. Lots of training available--be ready to become an SME if you adopt!
