Hi Team, I am new to Asana and get a bit confused. I an in charge of Fundraising, Communications and iT in our NFP. I work 2 days out of 5 remotely, but might have to work overseas due to personal reasons for a few weeks. I am trying to find a PM tools allowing my boss to have a good overview of what I am doing, and my Team a clear understanding of tasks to be done, priorities and deadline. I am not sure if Timeline, Progress or Workload are the most appropriate in my case, and how to use them efficiently. I would like my boss to be able to see what it is that I am doing and both him and myself to see if I have room to fit anything else… . I have 3 portfolios : Fundraising, iT and Comms / Marketing . In **Fundraising** , I have 4 Projects : Bishop’s Appeal, Seminary Appeal, Legacy Appeal and Regular Giving . Then in each, I have created the sections : Brainstorming, To Do, Doing, Milestones . and inside each sections, there are tasks and possibly sub-tasks. * * * From here, what would you guys suggestions be so to have an good overview /snapshot of what is going on ? Workload or Timeline ? Not a view with all the tasks appearing actually but a solid overview… There might be several posts about this for sure, but I am not sure where to start… Many thanks in anticipation for you guys assistance Cheers, Fred ---

Hi @Fred_Ralaimihoatra, welcome to the Asana Community Forum 👋🏻 In this case, I think you could utilise both Timeline and Workload! [Timeline](https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/timeline) shows how all of the pieces of your project fit together in chronological order while [Workload](https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/workload) gives visual snapshot of team capacity. I’ll keep your post open to give other Community members the opportunity to share their advice! 🙂 ---
