Align cross-space release dates in your plan
This page refers to the advanced planning features that are only available as part of Jira Cloud Premium and Enterprise.
By default, single-space releases that are contained within a cross-space release can have their own dates. However, if you want all of your single-space releases to converge or begin at the same time,your plan lets you align releases using either the start or end dates.
Cross-space releases are only used for planning purposes inside your plan. They can’t be viewed or edited in spaces.
To align the dates of single-space releases in a cross-space release:
Navigate to the Releases view from the left side navigation, and find the cross-space release whose release dates you want to align.
Select More actions (), then Align dates.
Choose how you want to align the start and/or end dates.
When you’re done, select Set dates to update the dates in your plan.
Release start date options:
As early as possible - The release will start as soon as there are available teams to work on the issues in the release. This is mostly only used when auto-scheduling issues.
Fixed date - Set a date
Relative to previous release date - Automatically trigger a new release a certain amount of time after the previous release finishes. For example, you can start work on the beta release one day after work for the alpha is completed.
Release date end options:
After all issues are completed - The release date is flexible and doesn’t display in the plan.
Fixed date - The release will happen on this chosen date, overriding the capacity and velocity settings. The release icons on the timeline will turn red for overbooked releases.
