Simple Team Annual Leave Calendar

[Gaynor Morris]

Hi, I am wanting to add a team calendar to our Team Home Page. Just something simple (we're only a team of 8) that shows our annual leave until the end of the year. We do not have a team outlook calendar or use any plug-ins (for Confluence or Jira), so I'm wondering if there is any simple way that visualises all our A/L for the year at a glance? I was thinking something like a gantt chart maybe with team names instead of tasks? I've accepted I will have to update manually, but can't find anything like I've described. There is an annual planner Miro template which you can integrate with Confluence, but it's too difficult to re-size unless dedicating a whole page to it. Any ideas?

Hi @Gaynor Morris 

If you have Jira, natively you can create a jira project Holidays, in which all the members will be able to add their days off, with the start date and the due date.

At the creation of this ticket you will assign automatically the ticket to the reporter.

Ask your team to declared their days off in this project.

Then you will have a nice view of their holidays by going to the Timeline view of your project.

Regards,

Thank you Cyrille! I built one in MS Planner this way, but I didn't think to add another project in Jira for the timeline. Brilliant! Thank you so much.
