Plan Jira Issues and Events on a Shared Calendar

Create a shared calendar from any project, saved filter, or JQL query. View issues, deadlines, meetings, and milestones by day, week, month, quarter, agenda, or timeline. Combine multiple calendars in one view, and drag an issue to another day to update its Jira date field.

Color-Code Issues with Rules

Color-code Jira issues by status, priority, due date, or any custom field using reusable AND/OR rules. Combine conditions in nested ALL and ANY groups, order rules so the first match wins, and star the ones you use most. Keep rules private or share them with your workspace, and see what needs attention at a glance.

Link Custom Events to Issues and Add Calendar Gadgets

Attach meetings, launch days and retrospectives to the Jira issue they belong to. The Linked Events panel sits on the issue itself, so you can link an existing event or create a new one without leaving it. Then drop the calendar and upcoming-events dashboard gadgets onto any Jira dashboard so the whole team sees what is coming.

Publish Calendars to Your JSM Portal

Show a read-only calendar to customers without a Jira license: maintenance windows, release dates, planned downtime. It can appear in four places — the Help Center, a portal home page, a category page, and a request type's form and its requests. You pick the calendars for each place, and customers can narrow Jira issues with filter dropdowns and click an event to see its dates and type.

Visualize Issues on a Resource Timeline

Use a Gantt-style timeline to group Jira issues and custom events by assignee, sprint, epic, fix version, component, project, or any custom field. Choose a time range from one day to a full year. Drag items between rows or across dates to reassign or reschedule them, and use the Issue Planner to add unscheduled issues to the timeline.

More Details

Flexible Calendar for Jira manages issues, events and resources in one place. It runs entirely within Atlassian and is available in 8 languages.

  • Calendar view. Display issues from any project, JQL query or saved filter, and pick which Jira fields supply the start and end dates on each calendar — so the same issues can be read by due date on one calendar and by sprint or a custom field on the next. Views from Day to Quarter, plus Agenda and Timeline with grouping by any issue field. Drag-and-drop rescheduling, quick filters, Excel and PDF export, and a multi-calendar view.
  • Custom events. Put meetings, releases and maintenance windows on the calendar next to Jira issues, with event types defined per calendar — each with its own name, icon and default reminder.
  • Conditional colors. Color events by status, priority, due date or any custom field, with relative date expressions and first-match-wins rule ordering.
  • Permissions. Set Read Only, Use or Admin access per calendar and per timeline.
  • JSM portal calendar. Embed calendars into Jira Service Management and the Help Center to show maintenance windows, releases or team availability to customers — no Jira login required.
  • Resource timeline. Plan by assignee, sprint, epic, version, component or custom field, put multiple timelines side by side, and drag work between resources and dates.
  • And more. Events linked to issues, recurring events, email reminders and dashboard gadgets.

Calendar for Jira runs on Jira Cloud and on Jira Data Center. If you are moving from Data Center to Cloud, calendars, custom events, event types, conditional colors, permissions and settings can be carried across with the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant — see the Data Center documentation. Setup, sources and permissions are covered in the Calendar for Jira documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Jira have a calendar view?

Jira Cloud includes a calendar view for individual spaces. Calendar for Jira goes further with shared cross-project calendars, JQL and saved-filter sources, custom events, advanced permissions, conditional colors, and JSM portal publishing. Eight view layouts cover Month, Week, All Week, Day, Basic Day, Agenda, Quarter and Timeline, and dragging an event to another day updates the underlying Jira date field.

Can I build a Jira team calendar that everyone sees the same way?

Yes. Create a calendar, choose its event sources, add your own event types and set permissions on it. Calendars can be public or private. Other users can add an existing calendar to their sidebar without duplicating it, and shared quick filters help everyone focus on the same work.

How does the Jira Service Management calendar work?

Enable the portal calendar in the app configuration and pick which calendars appear on the Help Center home page and on individual Service Desk portals. Customers can browse maintenance windows, release dates and other events in Month, Week or List view and open an event for details. Custom events are visible to all visitors, including anonymous and unlicensed users.

What is the difference between the calendar and the Jira resource timeline?

The calendar answers what is happening on a date. The resource timeline answers who is doing it: a Gantt-style board where rows are grouped by assignee, sprint, epic, fix version, component, project or a custom field, and issue bars are dragged between rows to reassign or move work. Both live in the same app.

Which Jira hosting options are supported?

Calendar for Jira runs on Jira Cloud and on Jira Data Center. If you are moving from Data Center to Cloud, calendars, custom events, event types, conditional colors, permissions and settings can be carried across with the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant — see the Data Center documentation.
