Hi @Marcela Junyent

Are you already using Jira? If you need to store structured information about your project, a good way would be to have a "Project" Jira issue type with the custom fields you need (including the dates).

From the moment you have dates, you can show your projects (and your project phases) on a Roadmap/Timeline using Jira apps. We are doing that for my DevOps Team at Nestlé and it works pretty well. I will be happy to show you.

Cheers,

David

There are several calendar apps for Jira, I'd check those at Atlassian Marketplace. For example:

* Company Calendar for Jira seems to be able to display versions in a calendar view.
* Mail.ru Calendar is another popular option, although I'm not sure if it supports versions as calendar events.

Hi Marcela,

have you considered the Roadmaps feature in Jira Next Gen projects?
