Can a second Calendar be added to a Jira SM Project?

Question

We're using the Change calendar, and it's working so well that Mgmt wants to see other non-Change Order events related to the same Project in a calendar view (e.g., important project events/deadlines, Holidays, etc.).

We could make a CO for all of these, but that's a bit "hacky"...

So can we add another Calendar or is there another way to accomplish this request?

Hi @[deleted],

I hope you had a good start to the week! In case you want to stay in Jira and you use Outlook calendars, you can work with an integration to add another calendar, e. g. Microsoft 365 for Jira.

Have a look at this YouTube video to see how it works: Microsoft 365 for Jira – Feature explained: Your Outlook calendars in Jira - YouTube

Just to mention it: with the integration you can work with more Microsoft 365 features in Jira (like Microsoft Teams, Outlook email, To Do).

Please note, I work for yasoon, the company which develops Microsoft 365 for Jira, so therefore I am a fan of the app

Have a great day, all the best from Mannheim, Germany

Yes, one way to accomplish this is using Team Calendars for Confluence. If you haven't looked into that yet, I encourage you to do so. We use it internally and so do many other customers we provide support. We also integrate with other calendars to get a consolidated view in one place. So, no "hacky" way in this case.
