Really wanted to use Asana for managing our department’s projects but not having the ability to see the timeline across Portfolios or multiple Projects is a deal stopper. We will be using [Monday.com](http://Monday.com) instead as it has this ability.

I assumed this capability was the bread and butter of Portfolios and honestly was the primary reason for my decision to upgrade to Business tier subscription. Without it I agree with the “glorified folder” statement earlier in this thread and honestly feel like a victim of bait and switch

Signed up for Business today assuming this was the whole point of Timeline, disappointed to realise it’s not possible. Please implement this soon!

Another voice on the pile here. As a project manager I’m having a very hard time justifying Asana to my boss when it’s not mechanically possible to set up a master timeline that we can use to see upcoming due dates on tasks from all projects. We have implemented various workarounds but the fact keeping it current requires lots of complex labor makes it often unreliable (not everyone on our team is a master Asana user adept with cross indexing tasks, etc).

I understand that there are a lot of logistical considerations but its hard to imagine anything more critical for a project management platform to have! Really hoping this is your highest priority.

Having only just set my team up on Asana, this is the one requirement my manager would like to see. We upgraded to get portfolios and have found that it still doesn’t help give us a wholistic view of all projects and their timeline so that we can see how we are tracking. We are using asana to project manage our client accounts along their customer journey. A fairly unique thing but if we can nail the timelines we can see this really helping us. Fingers crossed!

Hi Peter, thanks for you suggestion. Is there an easy way to copy the tasks from one project across to the aggregated project, or do you have to re-create every tasks manually in the new project?

Hi Peter, I found the “add to another project” thread. Am using this to ‘multihome’ unless a better way. Cheers anyway!

I would like to see all projects in the timeline each task on it is a project associated. From this view, I can easily check all projects progress and currently in progress without going to each project and check their timeline.

love the timeline feature, and it would be more exciting if this is available.

We already have a thread on this topic so I’ve gone ahead and merged your post with the existing thread [Timeline - view multiple projects together](https://forum.asana.com/t/timeline-view-multiple-projects-together/25689) to consolidate feedback on this topic!

@Rolando_Evaristo, and others on this thread,

While it requires some manual effort, you can one time create a project and make each task in it correspond to a work project you’d like to see on the timeline, then do a timeline view of this one project.

I’ve created a very flexible, comprehensive solution that’s kind of like Portfolios but with Timeline and not requiring Business Tier; PM me if interested:

> I spent time a few months ago designing a quite powerful and very flexible solution for my clients to handle either OKRs or Goals/KPIs (and initiatives generally), that is quick to implement and maintain weekly or monthly, and works company-wide with roll-ups at the company- and department-levels. An optional third tier, sub-department-level, is optionally available too. Unlike both Goals and Portfolios, which both require the Business tier, this solution only requires Premium, and still includ…

Thanks,

Hi @Marie,

Awesome!  
Thank you for merging. Sure it needs to be consolidated. 🙂

I would expect that the portfolio feature would actually give us the option to have a timeline for all projects under the portfolio. so pls go for it and implement it.

Nikos’ comment is 100% the way I’d like to see this go and what I’d like to see the PRIMARY PUROSE of portfolios being - an overarching view of the entire timeline of all projects. Love seeing that other people are after the same functionality we are - look forward to seeing what kind of solution Asana team comes up with!

This really needs to be implemented. It’s so hard to manage multiple projects without.

I just signed up, found this limitation, then discovered the multi-project work-around and its great! Don’t see why people are complaining. Did you all try using a single “high level view” project that every other task is added to that you want to see shared? It’s really pretty simple and works just fine for a multi-project, colored timeline view.

I’m loving it. See below

Hi, How did you set it to add the tasks that you add to other project automatically get added to this one?

My god, what an exercise in frustration! Multiple threads that lead back to one suggestion to use the “the multi-project work-around”, and no clear indication how to do that or what that means. Argh! Making me want to beat my head against a wall today… or, perhaps simpler, just move away from Asana!

+1 on this feature! Concerning that it’s been a big community “ask” yet nothing has happened in over 18 months. I assumed this feature would be included in the Premium plan and very disappointed to find it isn’t.
