Release calendar improvement

[PreranaS]

Hi there!

I’m the designer working on improving the Digital Product Release calendar and am looking for your inputs. Your insights will help us enhance the calendar to better suit your needs.

1. What challenges do you face with the current release calendar.

2. What key features or information would improve your ability to track and manage releases?

Hi Prerana,

Thanks for showing interest in taking end user inputs.

To start with, I believe these features are much useful and will increase the value of Release Calendar in DPR.

1. As we can create multiple Release Calendars, Ability to Link a Release Calendar with One or More Products. And from Product(s) page, be able to access the relevant Release Calendar.

2. Change requests planned window to be visible in related Release calendar of same Product / Business App / App Service / Business Service (Display based on user choice). Change requests related to DPR records should be highlighted in a different way.

3. Ability to integrate Blackout and Maintenance Schedules with DPR Release Calendars, so that a Product team can view the Maintenace Windows, Blackout Windows, their change requests and other Change requests happening on their Product(s) - everything within one Release Calendar.

If any of these features are already existing, please let me know.

It would be great if Confluence calendar and respective mapped Calendar in DPR are also in Synch.

Hello, it would be benefitial for the product manager (or responsible teams working on the application development) to filter the calendar by product to view release schedules for specific applications.

Thank you
