How to track dates promised using JIRA

Jonathan Blackburn April 15, 2013

I want to be able to track dates that I have promised a certain feature to a customer (or group of customers).

Is anything like this available as a plugin perhaps? (Or is this something that calls for a custom field?)

Any tips, tricks, best practices would be appreciated!

(Another question that is likely NOT related, but I will post anyway - just in case - how could we track "target markets" for a specific feature in JIRA, as well.)

Both of these questions are definitely more for the "product/business side" of things in regard to prioritizing and evaluating new requirements. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts!

You could use a labels custom field to add one or more customers/stakeholders of a feature to an issue and use a date custom field to save the (earliest) promised date. Maybe this helps.
