Adobe Workfront

Work Automation

Fusion is a low-code integration and automation platform to help streamline processes and provide measurable business outcomes to an organization. Fusion is most commonly used to connect Workfront to other software applications like Salesforce, Microsoft Outlook, JIRA, and more. In addition to providing a large selection of pre-built connections, Fusion allows for custom connections through the HTTP and SOAP APIs.

By leveraging Fusion, clients can automate work, allowing their users to complete work more efficiently, reduce manual work, and help discover errors from duplicate data.

Goal Alignment

Adobe Workfront Goals helps you define, communicate, and achieve strategic outcomes by connecting strategy to work execution and delivery. You can focus everyone's efforts on what truly matters, make progress measurable, and enable teams to accomplish amazing results. Users are able to create quarterly or yearly goals and assign them to users, teams, groups, or to their organization. It allows for organization collaboration on aligned goals, the ability to see goal progress graphs, and viewing the organization's hierarchy in the Goal Alignment flowchart.

In addition, milestone paths, and Gantt Charts provide a high-level view of the project's progress and how work is progressing.

Proofing & Approvals

Workfront's online proofing tool allows you to easily collaborate on work and efficiently review and approve creative work, so you spend less time tracking down approvals and more time doing the work you love.

You have the ability to see the newest version side-by-side to the previous version to ensure all required changes were met. With the built-in approval workflows, setting up a streamlined process for markups and approvals has never been easier.

Agile Work Management

Adobe Workfront provides tools that help teams work in an agile way, using either Kanban or Scrum.
