Critical Path Highlighting

Projects are a complex web of implicit and explicit dependencies. Throw a bunch of different resources into the mix (all working on multiple projects) and it can be hard to see the forest for trees. Critical Path Highlighting is a navigational tool that can help.

To use it, just select the task or container you care about and right-click as shown below. 

Ta-da! Instantly, you'll see all items on the critical path highlighted in yellow. That even includes higher priority items from other projects. Essentially, anything that's driving the end date of the selected item will be called out. If you keep the highlighting turned on, it's a great motivator to the team members whose work is most time-sensitive to stay on track.
