4 Most Common Project Request Problems
1. Information isn’t clear
2. Too many methods
3. Lack of understanding
4. No client accountability
![Page 12: Overcoming Creative Workflow Challenges](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/558e0cc21a28ab64318b4659/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Information gathered up front isn’t clear enough.
Results in having to constantly circle
back with requesters, trying to track
them down to try to get clarification and
or missing details.
![Page 13: Overcoming Creative Workflow Challenges](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/558e0cc21a28ab64318b4659/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
You have too many methods for requesting projects.
You get requests in email,
over the phone, post-it notes,
or while you’re on your way to
grab a cup of coffee.
With all these informal
methods for requesting work,
there’s a lot of holes where
details can leak out.
![Page 14: Overcoming Creative Workflow Challenges](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/558e0cc21a28ab64318b4659/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Misunderstandings of timelines and effort.
Lack of consideration for the
workload, effort, and impact of a
newly requested project.
![Page 15: Overcoming Creative Workflow Challenges](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/558e0cc21a28ab64318b4659/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
No accountability or responsibility to contribute.
Teams asking for creative work often
don’t take responsibility for quality, don’t
participate in collecting resources, or
help push the project through its lifecycle.

Automating WorkflowUsing an online tool, you can easily
provide requesters with pre-defined criteria
that really streamlines the capture of
information you need for any type of
project.
A requester simply opens up a browser,
selects the type of project they need done,
and the form builds automatically to
capture the right information.
![Page 28: Overcoming Creative Workflow Challenges](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/558e0cc21a28ab64318b4659/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Review and Approval
Create workflows for managing review
and approval process.
Rules dictate what happens at different
parts of the review and approval. The
example shows how you can automate
admin task by setting deadlines,
expirations, and triggers that forward
proofs and markups to the right people
at the right times.
