Case Study: Foolproof achieves doubled forward visibility of people allocation with Adobe Workfront

Foolproof doubles forward visibility of people allocation with workfront

Foolproof is a UK‑based experience design agency (offices in London, Norwich and Singapore) with more than 100 staff that manages roughly 300 projects a year for major brands. The agency struggled with manual project planning, no centralized resourcing, poor visibility into employee utilization and time‑consuming reporting—its Resource Manager spent about 16 hours monthly and Project Managers half a day each week producing updates—making it hard to forecast capacity or balance workloads.

By deploying Workfront for time tracking, the Resource Grid, standardized project templates and automated reporting, Foolproof gained real‑time resource visibility and streamlined updates. The agency doubled its forward visibility of people allocation, can forecast utilization four weeks out with about 10% accuracy, increased project and portfolio transparency, saved roughly 40 hours in reporting time, and effectively doubled the capacity of people and projects managed.
