It seems like the best thing about the new Portfolio View is the ability to track the state and progress of a larger goal across multiple projects, for instance multiple individual âProduct Projectsâ summarizing into a âProduct Roadmapâ or âProduct Launchâ. Or multiple marketing and content campaigns running in sequence as part of a company-wide marketing plan. This is where a timeline view seems like by far the most important aspect⊠the ability to check in on any given day and see where you are and whatâs next, make adjustments, share the state of the roadmap with your team, etc. Otherwise, right now Portfolios just feels like a glorified âFolderâ that groups projects together, but doesnât provide any deeper insight beyond status. Which is so vague when you have 50-100 tasks in a project. Iâd really love the ability to see a timeline at the Portfolio level.
A timeline view would be awesome. Itâs impactful to show project overlap and how far they span.
Absolutely! THAT would make me a Business Plan user right away! This is a functionality Iâve been longing for for my team and I for almost a year now. A Timeline View for all ongoing projects combined.
I wholeheartedly agree!
We recently upgraded to Business specifically for Portfolios (and Milestones), after restructuring our Asana setup over and over again until finally settling on the way we do it now.
We define the Tasks at the root of a Project as âDeliverablesâ, and Subtasks as âActionsâ that are given a Due Date and Assignee, so Portfolios are great for managing Projects at a high level and making sure theyâre on track i.t.o. their Deliverables, but the crucial question we still canât answer is: Will a Deliverable in a certain Project conflict with one from another Project ?
A Timeline view of a Portfolio will certainly give the required visibility.
Spot on! I thought the hole point of upgrading to business was to have a timeline view in portfolio!
I couldnât agree more! My company execs love the timeline view, but the fact that option is missing from portfolio frustrates them. In portfolio we create âSprintsâ and add individual projects into each sprint or portfolio. The ability to see these âsprintsâ in timeline view within portfolios would be huge. They want the birds-eye view of where everyone stands on their projects and this would fill that need.
We just implemented Asana (Business Plan) and would love to have this view made available, instead of having to leverage a plugin like Instagantt. As the manager of our Go-To-Market Process/Program, I believe this feature would be a huge value driver, especially since more members from our SLT/ELT teams have asked about having a visual view of the portfolio
@Enzo_Capasso (and others in this thread),
I just noticed this thread after Enzoâs post today. Iâve upvoted, but for an alternative, please have a look at my earlier post below from another thread.
Iâve devised an alternative approach to Portfolios that *does* have an integrated Timeline view. This is not a third-party solution; itâs all within Asana itself, and only requires Premium:

Yes this would be great! I was not happy about having to upgrade and pay extra for portfolios after the dashboard was deprecated but I have done it for the better visibility. I was creating tasks for every project in an âoverviewâ project but that is messy with double handling of details such as start and due date and status. A timeline in portfolio view would amazing for tracking and keeping on track.
Yes please!! Itâs a bit bonkers that this is not availableâŠ!
Such a key feature that is missing. We currently have a âproject pipelineâ project that we use for visualizing all projects, but itâs redundant work to keep both spaces updated. Voted!
Hi everyone
Thank you so much for supporting this feature request over the last couple of months! Iâm delighted to announce that we now have a Timeline Views for Portfolios! To learn more about it, head over to this announcement post Portfolios now come with a Timeline view!
Have all a great Monday
