Adobe AD0-E903 - Adobe Workfront Project Manager Professional

In Adobe Workfront, to avoid sending unnecessary notifications when adjusting timelines, theRecalculate the project timelineoption 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​​.

Adobe Workfront, permissions can be inherited through various objects like projects, portfolios, ortasks when shared with users. However, when sharing a report, the permissions do not cascade to related items like projects or tasks within that report. This is because reports are generated views and do not directly control object-level permissions. A report can be shared to allow a user to see data within the report, but it will not grant them inherited permissions to the underlying projects or tasks displayed in that report​​.

In Adobe Workfront, risks associated with a project should be logged as part of the project business case. The "Risk" section within the business case allows stakeholders to document any potential threats to the project timeline, scope, or resources. Identifying this risk as a "schedule" risk helps communicate the potential delay to the project stakeholders and allows it to be tracked and mitigated effectively​​.

In Adobe Workfront, the correct wildcard to filter for a project completion date greater than 1 month from the current date isCURRENTDATE + 4w. This wildcard ensures that the filter captures projects scheduled to be completed more than four weeks (or one month) from the current day. Workfront uses such wildcards for dynamic date filtering in reports​​.

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 notaffect the default system-wide rate for other projects​​.

In Workfront, custom data fields created for projects are typically found within the "Business Case" section, specifically under "Project Info." This area houses key project information and unique custom fields that are relevant to the project's setup. The "Project Details" section is more focused on task-related information and the overall summary of the project​​.

The best combination of elements to monitor an active project's progress in Adobe Workfront isGantt chart,project Condition, andMetrics. The Gantt chart provides a visual timeline of task dependencies and durations, the Condition field shows the project’s current health (On Target, At Risk, etc.), and Metrics offer quantitative data to measure progress. Together, these provide a comprehensive view of a project's performance​​.

Even though tasks may be marked as 100% complete, theirStatusmay still be listed as incomplete in reports if the task's status has not been updated to "Completed." TheStatuscolumn provides insight into the current state of the task, which helps identify if the task is still listed as "In Progress" or another incomplete status despite being marked as fully complete. Adding this column clarifies why the task appears in theIncomplete Tasks Report​​.
