Overview
Adobe Workfront is a cloud-based enterprise work management platform that unifies planning, intake, execution, resourcing, and review/approval for marketing, creative, and cross-functional teams. It centralizes project and portfolio management into a single system of record, with dashboards and reporting to give leaders visibility into capacity and progress. Workfront integrates deeply with the Adobe Creative Cloud and Experience Cloud ecosystem, and has added AI-assisted planning, brief automation, and "AI collaborator" agents to its workflow automation.
The problem Adobe Workfront solves
Enterprise marketing, creative, and IT organizations often run work across disconnected spreadsheets, email threads, and point tools, making it hard to see true team capacity, prioritize the right projects, and keep review and approval cycles on brand and on schedule. Adobe Workfront centralizes intake, planning, execution, resourcing, and reporting into one system of record so leaders get visibility into risk and progress across the full portfolio of work.
