What size of window do you think this should be? Two weeks back and 
four weeks forward?  Or perhaps based on a percentage of the project's 
total duration? Is it something that the project manager should set 
once and forget about? Or something that will change from week to week?

Really what I am trying to get a better handle on is: what specific 
criteria would you use to define the "concise view" of tasks that you 
would like to see?
