Has anyone successfully launched Workfront in a Creative Agency? I’m at a large creative shop that is trying to implement it for the first time. It seem overly complicated. Any success stories?

The Project Management aspect of it is a huge lift that I have not seen fully utilized ever. ProofHQ is an easy rollout.

They did at my last agency and tried to force all the creatives to use it. It was a huge disaster

They didn't do it right then. Change management is crucial to any new process. Your use of the word "force" gives a clue as to why it failed.

Proof hq is the goods.

Like all configured systems, the lion’s share of the product codifies what is in practice a more flexible process, and there’s no perfect answer for that.

Not at an agency but use Workfront fully, from creative brief to project management to review/approvals. Anything you want to know in particular? For my current work, I mostly use a kanban workflow, but did a lot of waterfall products when I was CD.

Yes. But I personally configured every workflow and form. PMs have to own it. Comms plan crucial.

I've launched it at two creative agencies and doing a third right now. The first one was 500+ users, the second was over 100 users, this one is over 600 users.

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

Where can I brush up on digital trends? Which agencies’ work should I check out? Any blogs worth catching up on? Thanks!
