Request a project

You can request a project for approval before you start working on it. This creates a project with a status of Idea. We recommend building a Business Case for your project to outline some of the key points you want to achieve by completing it, as well as to present to your management your labor and expense budget.

You can request a project when you add a new project in the following areas of Adobe Workfront:

  • In the Projects area
  • In the Projects area of a Portfolio
  • In the Projects area of a Program
  • In the Groups area for the group of the project, when you are a group administrator.
