New Features	Description	Impact/Action Needed
Ability to Create Portfolios	Users can now create Portfolios which allow you to see a high level overview of a set of Projects and a combined Gantt Chart based on Project Start and Finish Dates.

Time Tracker	Users can now define the estimated effort to complete a task (Planned Effort) and log time against their assigned Tasks (Actual Effort). Users will see a new Time Tracker tab where they can log time by day or by week. Users can also log time directly in their Salesforce Tasks.

New Planned Effort & Actual Effort Columns	Users will now see two new columns within the Project Schedule: Planned Effort and Actual Effort. Planned Effort allows Project Managers to specify the estimated amount of time it takes to complete a task. When Resources log time against their assigned tasks, the time entries roll up to Actual Effort.
