Timeline

When I want to check in on our overall timeline, I use one of the two visuals below. The top one shows the progression of projects, using the date ranges given on the underlying tasks (earliest started to latest due). The bottom timeline displays the tasks themselves and helps give context to open activities when I am using the to review the backlog.
