What's new in the Calendar view? Funny you should ask!

[#1]

Hello Jira lovers! I’m Joe, a product manager on Jira Plans. We somewhat recently launched the Calendar view in Plans and today we’re shipping some new features to make it even better.

Let’s take a peak at what you can now do in the Calendar view in Plans.

You can now see Sprints:

As well as Releases:

You can view and filter by issue types, plus other new filtering capabilities:

There’s new options to customize your view, like:

• Show or hide weekends

• Choose what day your week starts on

And the ability to schedule issues by dragging and dropping:

Take a peek at our documentation to see the full capabilities.

Give these features a whirl and see what you think. We’d love to hear what improvements you want to see next!

Wow, some great enhancements @Joe Nguyen, thank you, is there a possibility of subscribing to the calendar from Outlook ?

Great enhacements!

I have two suggestions:

1. ability to see multiple issue types at once, so we can see both story and subtasks in the same view, if we want to
2. When will it be possible to see subtasks on the Program view? This is a terrible omission

@alampreave thanks for your suggestions

1. Ability to see multiple issue types at once, so we can see both story and subtasks in the same view, if we want to
   
   Would love to understand more about this. Have you explored the filter by 'type' in the calendar yet? Does it meet your needs?

 

2. When will it be possible to see subtasks on the Program view? This is a terrible omission

Currently, the feature to display sub-tasks as individual cards on the Program Board is not planned. Atlassian's perspective is that sub-tasks should be completed within the same sprint or iteration as their parent story. If we were to introduce sub-tasks on the Program Board, the approach would likely involve displaying stories with their associated sub-tasks, but these sub-tasks would not be planned independently of the parent story. We would appreciate any feedback or thoughts you might have on this approach.

@Kishan Sharma Thanks for your feedback. At the moment, subscribing or exporting the calendar so it's viewable from outlook isn't in our immediate roadmap yet, but we'll make sure to have this request for future consideration, as it's quite a common need.
