Plan releases on a shared calendar pin

·February 2, 2026·Use cases

Track ship dates, betas, and stakeholder reviews on a calendar pin—month view on the canvas next to roadmap and checklist pins.

Release calendars in email invites don’t match the plan doc. A calendar pin shows events on a month grid—betas, code freeze, launch day—pinned beside roadmap and checklist pins for one operational view.

Example: release calendar pin

Why calendar pins?

Date collisions visible

See overlapping launches and reviews at a glance.

Shared ritual anchor

Standups reference the same calendar pin.

Lightweight planning

No full calendaring suite required for milestone dates.

Getting started

List release events with start dates. Create a calendar pin, add events. Sync verbally when dates slip; update the pin.

All-day vs multi-day?

Use start/end fields per event; keep titles short.

Note TZ in event titles for global teams.

Calendar vs timeline?

Calendar = month grid; timeline = narrative sequence.
