Workfront is a great project management system for our team

4.0 last year

Comments: By organizing and tracking our project activities, we can see how the workflow impacts the timing of individual tasks, which is a problem that Workfront helps us tackle.

Pros:

Workfront's extensive toolset is fantastic. As a result, we are able to keep track of projects and documents in one easily accessible spot, perfect for audits and other record-keeping needs.

Cons:

Workfront's high degree of complexity in setting up individual projects is one of its drawbacks. There is a steep learning curve that might slow down user adoption due to the interface's subpar design and abundance of options that make navigation difficult.

Managing All the Work - Using Workfront

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: Workfront is a product I still recommend to this day. And I started using it 10 years ago! It's intuitive in design, robust in the scope of work it can manage and organize, and allows for teams, such as national ones, to increase their productivity, clarity and understanding of work's purpose.

Pros:

When I first started working at Advance Auto Parts, there was no project management system in place for the eCommerce team. At first, we used SharePoint, but after a year of getting by, we had a proper Workfront implementation and never looked back. We were Waterfall, not Agile, in our project management process; and while Workfront has enhanced their Agile capabilities over the years, it simplified our work management overnight. With our team spread out between California, Minnesota and North Carolina, real-time updates and ease of use for the tool was critical. Workfront delivered both. Thanks to that tool, I was the only project manager on staff for a good while and remained able to manage the entire flow.

Cons:

As we expanded and sought to do more robust reporting, there was resistance to using what was generated, or could be screen-captured from Workfront vs. the fixed mindset of using PowerPoint. Having more dynamic imagery in the project report-outs would have been of benefit.

Workfront helps us make projects more efficient

4.0 last year

Comments: We can quickly and easily generate reports that are informative and easy to read thanks to the reporting tools. Workfront is a crucial component of our company's workflow, and it comes with outstanding support from knowledgeable experts whenever we have questions or concerns.

Pros:

We really like how Workfront simplifies project creation because to its intuitive UI, portability across platforms, and task-setting flexibility. It automatically refreshes all of the data, so we can view the most recent updates to team projects at any moment.

Cons:

Sometimes Workfront's capabilities fall short of what I need, and that makes me frustrated. As an added complication, overlapping task deadlines might make it look like a project is falling behind schedule when, in reality, it is just running a little behind schedule.
