So I started using timeline in our presentations 
and I tell you, the first impression is WOW! I shared it with my project managers who produce timelines, gantt charts in excel files and I got a sigh of relief.
The feature is very helpful to identify quick errors in the due dates that you are assigned to tasks depending on each other.
This is now requires a true mind change for teams who are simply used on assigning tasks due dates. Timelines are useless if you do not have a start date and an end date. Some improvement will no doubt make it even more effective, but to start with, anyone using timelines? and tips and tricks?

Sounds like you are on the beta program for that functionality. Would be very interested in seeing some screenshots if you are able to attach…

Here is a quick example! I will find another complex example and share later!
Notice the dependancies and the red errors!

And all of this is within Asana? Can’t wait to see it rolled out across Asana…

Oh god, I need this so much.
Today I was literally one click away from starting my Wrike annual paid subscription (they have the timelines built-in, and I already decided to switch), but due to some communication problems on their side I delayed my payment — just to stumble upon this.
How can I opt in ASAP?

I got an email on Tuesday i think, of this week, saying that start times were now part of Asana. I would think it would just be across the board. It wasn’t a beta testing email or anything. Here’s the article that the email linked to.

I should point out, that it is a Premium feature. Not freemium.
@Alexis can I sign up for the beta on Project Timeline??? It’s looks one step closer to the epicness we’ve all been asking for!

On a project view? Did you get anything to have an access to it?

I used the power of my smile 
Yes, on a project view
What’s the name of that tab? I don’t see one.

There is also instagantt.com which integrates directly with Asana and generates Gantt charts / timelines automatically. It ties to the Asana due date/end date, but you can also enter Start Date in instangantt. It is free too.

We’re already syncing with the Asana Start dates too! (Instagantt founder here)

Hi folks! We love your enthusiasm We’re not able to add individual users to slow rollouts (due to testing and reporting reasons) but we’re glad you’re excited for this. I think we’ll have some great discussion in the Community about this feature moving forward!
