Request a project
You can request for a project to be approved before you start working on it.
When you create a blank project, the status of the project is Idea.
If you need a formal request for the project to be approved, we recommend building a Business Case for a new project so that you can 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.
Filling out the Business Case and submitting the project for approval completes the formal request for the project. After submitting the business case for approval the status of the project becomes Requested.
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.
