An IT department needs to see the Group and Portfolio of each of its projects for reporting purposes.
In which project area does this information reside?
B.
Explanation:
Adobe Workfront, information about the Group and Portfolio assigned to a project is stored in the
"Project Details" section. This section contains the overall information regarding a project, such as
the Portfolio it belongs to and the Group responsible for it. The "Queue Details" section pertains to
request queues, while "Metrics" generally involves the measurement and tracking of key
performance indicators but not specific data like Group and Portfolio.
The second task in a project should be completed within 48 hours and needs to begin 5 business days
after the first task is completed.
Which task settings should be configured to meet these requirements?
A
Explanation:
In Adobe Workfront, to configure tasks according to the requirement of the second task beginning 5
business days after the first task, you need to set the appropriate "Duration" and use "Finish-Start"
dependencies. The task's duration is key to determining the time allowed for its completion. The
"Finish-Start" dependency ensures that the second task begins only after the first is finished, and a
lag can be set to introduce a delay, such as 5 business days. Setting a "Finish-Start" dependency with
a lag allows for proper scheduling of tasks in sequence without overlapping.
What item, when shared with a user, can never give that user inherited permission to a project?
C
Explanation:
Adobe Workfront, permissions can be inherited through various objects like projects, portfolios, or
tasks 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.
What parent object can have child objects?
C
Explanation:
In Workfront, a "Portfolio" is a parent object that can contain multiple programs and projects. Each
Portfolio can have a hierarchy of child objects such as programs, which further break down into
projects. A project, while it contains tasks and issues, is considered a child within the larger hierarchy
of a portfolio. Issues, on the other hand, are typically linked to tasks or projects but are not used as
parent objects. This hierarchy enables Workfront users to organize and manage their work across
various levels.
Two team members are assigned to a task that is expected to start this Tuesday based on the
predecessor and the task constraint, but the Planned Start Date is showing as this Friday.
Why may this be the case?
C
Explanation:
In Workfront, tasks are governed by several factors such as task duration, planned hours, and
predecessors. In this case, the most likely reason for the task starting later than expected is due to
the task's duration and planned hours being configured to start on Friday. Even though the
predecessor may suggest an earlier start, task settings such as constraints and assigned hours can
override the default scheduling. Additionally, task constraints, like "Fixed Start" or "Fixed Finish," can
influence when tasks appear on the schedule.
A project manager has set up and launched a new project for an annual marketing campaign.
Where can the project team locate their work requests?
A
Explanation:
Workfront provides multiple ways for team members to track and locate their assigned work. The
primary tools include the Workfront Home area, which centralizes all work items assigned to a user,
and email notifications that can alert users to new assignments or updates. Additionally, users can
view specific tasks in the Project tasks list. Workfront Home is a key component for workers as it
consolidates all active assignments and updates in a single view.
A project manager is assigned to a new Workfront request. The requestor has asked that three team
members receive notifications when any updates are posted to the request.
How should the project manager keep these team members apprised of updates?
A
Explanation:
In Adobe Workfront, team members can be subscribed to a request so that they receive updates
whenever changes or comments are made. This ensures they stay informed of any progress or issues.
Adding a request to favorites only bookmarks it for easy access, but does not trigger automatic
notifications. Making multiple primary contacts is not an efficient way to handle notifications.
A system administrator has created a Marketing Request Queue that routes to the marketing team.
This team needs to manage various incoming requests from the organization through emails, instant
messaging, and conversations. Team members receive request notifications in their emails but are
still having difficulties monitoring and prioritizing incoming requests.
Which reports would be helpful to have on a dashboard for the marketing team to manage incoming
work requests?
C
Explanation:
To help the marketing team manage incoming work requests, the most effective reports would focus
on the priority and entry date of requests. These reports would allow the team to quickly view what
requests are new, in progress, or completed, enabling them to prioritize work accordingly. A report
that tracks the "entry date" helps in monitoring how long a request has been waiting, while status-
based reports help in identifying the current stage of each request.
How is the primary assignee of a task determined?
C
Explanation:
In Adobe Workfront, when multiple users are assigned to a task, the system designates the user who
was assigned first as the primary assignee. This is the user responsible for driving the task to
completion, and their name will appear in the primary assignee field. This approach ensures clear
accountability within teams.
A project manager is assigned to a new Workfront request. The request specifies that the
management team’s sign-off is needed before the project can begin.
What is the appropriate action for the project manager to take?
C
Explanation:
In Workfront, approval processes are designed to handle scenarios where certain team members
must give formal approval before work can proceed. In this case, the project manager should set up a
customized approval process that routes the request through the necessary stakeholders
(management team) for their sign-off. This ensures proper governance and tracking.
The executive team at Company A has asked the Workfront System Administrator how they can get
visibility into the health, importance, and strategic alignment of active projects across the
organization so that they can quickly make data-driven business decisions.
Which report grants the executive team this visibility?
C
Explanation:
For executive-level reporting, a program report grouped by department provides a holistic view of
ongoing initiatives. This includes the health of programs, urgency, and alignment with business goals.
This type of report is essential for leadership teams to assess overall performance and make
informed decisions that align with the company’s strategic objectives.
A project manager wants to see all of the assignees for each task in a project.
Which field should the manager reference to view all task assignees?
B
Explanation:
In Adobe Workfront, the "Assignments" field allows a project manager to see all the users assigned
to a task. This field is useful for viewing multiple assignees on a single task, as tasks can have more
than one person responsible. The "Assigned To" and "Assigned" fields are often used for single-user
assignments and are not as comprehensive for viewing all task assignees.
When a project owner grants Contribute access on a project to a user with the same access level as
the project owner, what can that user do?
A
Explanation:
In Workfront, users with "Contribute" access are typically able to modify and interact with content
but are not allowed to perform higher-level administrative tasks like attaching templates or adding
tasks. Adding a custom form is within the scope of what a user with Contribute access can do, as it
involves adding data input fields to an existing project.
An organization has created unique data fields relevant to their projects. Starting by navigating from
a project's landing page, where is this data found?
C
Explanation:
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.
A stakeholder has identified a potential scheduling conflict on a current project. This conflict may
affect the completion date by pushing it out two weeks. The stakeholder wants to document this
timeline risk.
Which action should the stakeholder take to log the risk?
A
Explanation:
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.
