We recently released two new features for Portfolio users:  Standup and Share.

"Standup" in the portfolio will show you the most recent Standup reports from all spaces.  You can click on the “Activity report” link to see more details about the user.   This has been a lifesaver for me as our business gets more complicated.  Before I talk to someone, I can check this report to find out what he or she is working on, and I have the opportunity to sound relatively informed and attentive.  You can also use it to spot "needs" and remove obstacles more quickly.

With “Share” permissions, you do not need to enter all of your team members multiple times.   Just “Share” with an existing team.  This is convenient if you have a project / subproject structure.  You can add team members to your top-level project, and then when you set up subprojects, “Share” with the entire team.  To use it, go to the Team tab, and (if you are in a portfolio) select the “Share” subtab.
