How-to work with Jira calendars
Status quo
IT project managers work in different tools to different extents:
Jira: to check on development process
Outlook: to check on emails with customer
Overview of dates right in one place is challenging. Especially in Confluence, because:
switching tools to get necessary information = annoying, stressful and time consuming
collecting information from different tools = risk of losing information on the way
topicality of information (Outlook calendars) is maybe not given due to sync with additional plugin
Expectation/Need for …
for a calendar in Confluence which provides all data needed (Outlook & Jira) - in real-time - to:
e.g. to provide general data centrally for the team
shared Outlook calendars such as dev-events, holidays, general availabilities
and insert a current user’s Jira calendar to access own data among shared data
or insert only Jira specific dates for your team (as an overview about upcoming tasks)
e.g. to assign (open) issues among the team
show unassigned or open Jira issues and
show specific User calendars (capacity, availability)
e.g. to access necessary data on alert
focus on Jira dates e.g. show Jira issues with due date and
inset a current user’s Jira calendar
e.g. to plan (bigger) IT projects centrally
show shared and specific user Outlook calendars (check on availability)
show Jira dates such as planned Releases to align with team capacity
