Solid PM software to for the entire organization to use
Use Cases and Deployment Scope

One project manager would create a project from a template and then assign resources to the project (some assigned automatically, some assigned through traffic management).
Pros
- Informative dashboard
- Easy to create templates for repeating projects
- Time management tools
Cons
- Not always intuitive for setting cascading deadlines
- Deliverable proofing tools focused on editing PDFs
- Reporting output not always formatted "right" on the first try
Return on Investment
- Less confusion on who is working on what, when
- Clear, easy to follow "to-dos" every day, and a clear picture of who is available for more work
- Fewer missed deadlines

Comprehensive management tool
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Adobe Workfront as a tool for managing our many projects and it addresses several business problems for us. One is for project visibility and transparency. All timelines and project details, as well as team member progress are visible to everyone involved which helps everyone stay on the same page. This also optimizes workflow and accelerates the speed of our timelines. We don't have to ask redundant questions or try to find details of projects in a random chat or email. The task automation features also save us time and reduce the risk of human error. That way we can focus more on the strategy and business needs instead of the administrative tasks.

- Project Status Updates
Cons
- Performance Issues
