Thanks Jan-Rienk
Specifically, seeing all tasks in a timeline format, across multiple projects within a portfolio is an essential part of communicating to particularly senior managers what tasks are overlapping, when, where there are crunch points, where there are gaps or periods of less intense work and so on.
There are other ways of representing this, of course, you can look at tasks assigned to certain people, look on calendar views, etc., but as a clear and accessible visual representation of how projects are laid out relative to one another nothing is as useful, clear and intuitive as being able to see the timelines laid out in a table. In case of need, filtering can be applied to show more/less detail.
This function is a really useful project management and task communication tool and I think it’s a feature that should really be considered. Looking at the comments above it is definitely in demand. Thanks again.
