Surface software team releases in business team calendars
Get a clear picture of an engineering team's progress, then plan what work needs to be done on the business side in Jira Work Management with shared release dates.
Stay informed when the engineering team changes their release estimates and better plan marketing campaigns or customer-related tasks.
If your project has releases enabled, you’ll be able to access release details from your software teams such as status, dates, and progress directly in the calendar view. Integrate this with your team’s planning to set work accordingly.
This feature is currently rolling out and may not be on your site yet. The feature won’t work for cross-project views for the time being.
