Use this interactive demo to learn how to add a calendar integration to your Jira project.

‍

To add calendar in Jira, follow these steps:

‍

Navigate to your settings and click the gear icon located at the upper right corner of your Jira dashboard.
Under 'Jira Settings', select 'Apps'.
In the Marketplace, search for 'Calendar for Jira' or a similar plugin. Once you find a suitable plugin, click on it.
Click 'Get App' to install it.
Select 'Get it now'.
That's it! A notification pops up once the app has been added and ready to use.

📌 Why this matters

Adding a calendar transforms your project management by giving you visual timeline control over sprints, releases, and deadlines. You can spot scheduling conflicts before they derail your team and coordinate cross-project dependencies that aren't obvious in standard board views.

The real advantage comes from bridging the gap between agile workflows and stakeholder expectations - executives and clients think in calendar terms, not sprint numbers. When you can show project milestones on actual dates, you align technical teams with business planning cycles more effectively.
