A project manager needs to see specific tasks and issues across all of their projects in a single view. The project manager only needs to see tasks and issues that are currently pending approval, and the results should be grouped by project. What steps should the project manager take to create this view?
Answer : B
The most comprehensive approach is to create two separate reports---one for tasks and one for issues---with filters set for 'Pending Approval.' Grouping the results by project name ensures that the project manager can see all relevant tasks and issues organized per project. Adding these reports to a dashboard consolidates the information into a single view, providing easy access for tracking pending approvals.
Due to a time sensitive shift in priorities, the timeline of a project needs to be adjusted. What step should the Project Owner take before adjusting the task timeline to avoid sending notifications to the project team?
Answer : B
In Adobe Workfront, to avoid sending unnecessary notifications when adjusting timelines, the Recalculate the project timeline option is used. This ensures that the timeline is updated appropriately based on the changes, but it prevents the system from sending notification alerts to the project team. Recalculation helps align task dependencies and timeline adjustments, preventing confusion among team members.
A portfolio owner has asked to see milestone statuses for all projects in their portfolio. The report must filter out any complete projects. What steps should the project manager take to create this view?
Answer : C
The best way to display milestone statuses for projects in a portfolio, while excluding completed projects, is to create a Project Report. By setting filters to exclude completed projects and selecting the appropriate Portfolio Owner ID, the report will display the relevant data. Additionally, enabling the Milestone view in the report ensures that the portfolio owner can easily track project progress and statuses.
A creative team accesses their assigned work in a My Tasks list report. The team would like to easily see any New tasks highlighted for visibility. How can the project manager accommodate the team's request?
Answer : D
To meet the team's request for highlighting new tasks, the most effective solution is to create a View that uses Column Rules. These rules allow for conditional formatting based on task criteria, such as highlighting new tasks in a specific color for easy identification. This approach enhances visibility without requiring the creation of filters or new reports, and it makes it easier for users to see relevant tasks within their existing task lists.
What are two characteristics of a Group in Workfront? (Choose two.)
Answer : C, D
Groups in Adobe Workfront serve as organizational entities that can be associated with specific Companies or Projects to manage workflows or permissions more effectively. Additionally, each Group can have a Group Administrator assigned, who is responsible for managing the group's settings, permissions, and workflows. These roles and associations help in structuring how work and permissions are allocated across different teams or departments.
Executive stakeholders require both current metric reports and a weekly recap on a project.
How can both needs be met?
Answer : A
In Workfront, creating a program-specific dashboard allows for the presentation of real-time data to stakeholders. Additionally, automated reports can be set to send out weekly, meeting the requirement for a consistent recap. This automation reduces the manual effort of downloading and sending reports each week.
A client has negotiated a discounted billing rate for video editing in a specific initiative.
How can the project manager override the default billing rate for the Video Editor within a project?
Answer : C
In Workfront, billing rates can be customized for individual projects. To apply a negotiated rate for the Video Editor role within a specific initiative, the project manager can add a new billing rate at the project level. This ensures that the rate is applied only to tasks within the project and does not affect the default system-wide rate for other projects.
