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?
Answer : A
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.
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.
An executive wants to see the actual cost of projects within a selected portfolio, allowing for multiple reports with the option to select a specific portfolio, sorted in a descending order, so the most expensive projects appear on top. Which steps should be taken to create this report?
Answer : A
To meet the executive's request, the best approach is to create a Project Report in the Reports area. Adding a column for Actual Cost and sorting it in descending order ensures that the most expensive projects appear at the top. Additionally, by adding a prompt for Portfolio Name, the report can be filtered by the specific portfolio, allowing for tailored views across different portfolios.
The marketing team should begin working on a task on September 23, complete it within 2 weeks and take approximately 10 hours over that time span to execute the deliverable.
Which task settings need to be configured to meet these requirements?
Answer : B
In Workfront, setting the correct task constraint and planned hours ensures that the task starts on the intended date (September 23) and allows the team to track the time allocated (10 hours) over a 2-week duration. 'Must Start On' ensures the task begins exactly on the planned start date.
Which date type on tasks can a project manager manually modify?
Answer : A
In Adobe Workfront, Planned Dates are the dates that project managers can manually modify. These dates represent the schedule that the project is expected to follow and can be adjusted based on project needs. Estimated and Projected Dates are automatically calculated by the system based on task progress and dependencies, and these cannot be manually modified directly by a project manager. The Projected date is influenced by changes in the actual completion rate of tasks, whereas the Planned Date is the baseline schedule.
Which date type should an assignee update to change the completion date of a task?
Answer : C
In Workfront, to update the planned completion of a task, the assignee should modify the 'Planned Completion Date.' This date is used for scheduling and planning purposes to track when the task is expected to be finished. Changing the 'Planned Completion Date' adjusts the task's projected timeline and allows for a recalculation of project dependencies.
How is the primary assignee of a task determined?
Answer : C
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.
