Having 4-5 levels would have significantly helped our design and implementation. In order to work around the limiting number of levels, we built patchwork solutions to satisfy the requirement of more levels without having more than 3 available. This is now an issue because people are looking for task level reports because they need a level below project

In our instance, we would have preferred to have:

Department

Product

Program

Project

Instead we have:

Department

Product/Program

Project

and people are using projects as programs and tasks as projects in order to get to the reporting levels needed. This also means that Project now represents two different levels depending on how it was implemented.

We also have a requirement to have 4 levels in the hierarchy. Currently we are working around it by creating reports and dashboards , though it is proving difficult to consolidate and produce central accurate reporting especially for financials. Yes please, we would really like to have this idea implemented.
