The **Portfolio Timeline** helps you track multiple projects at a glance, ensuring everything stays on schedule. Here's how you can make the most of it:

**1. View Project Progress**

* The timeline displays all projects in a **Gantt-style view**, showing key milestones and deadlines.
* You can quickly see which projects are **on track, ahead, or delayed**.

**2. Identify Delays**

* Delayed tasks appear visually, making it easy to spot bottlenecks.
* Click on any project to check which specific milestone is causing the delay.

**3. Adjust Schedules**

* If a project is running behind, **drag and adjust** milestones on the timeline to realign schedules.
* Assign resources or modify deadlines as needed.

**4. Filter and Customize Views**

* Use filters to focus on specific projects, teams, or timeframes.
* Customize the view by selecting different date ranges (week, month, quarter).
