Configure your fiscal year dates in Jira Product Discovery

[#1]

Hello JPD Community!

We have recently heard a lot of feedback from you on dates configuration and especially about the lack of ability to adjust the quarters to the fiscal years of your companies.

I have exciting news for you: Jira Product Discovery will allow you to play with the timeline's time scale by enabling you to select the start date of your financial year.

Coming soon for all pricing plans!

The dates can be customized by your Jira Admins.

In Settings choose Product and then Dates in the Jira Product Discovery section.

Then select the start month of the year and the preview will show you the adjusted quarters.

Click Save and you’re ready!

Once you have updated the dates, you can always change them again by accessing the configuration options through the timeline settings panel. Click the dates in the timeline header and select Edit next to “The year starts in…”

Notes:

• These quarters can be used in timeline views and date fields.

• For the previously created ideas you need to adjust the quarters manually.

• If you do not have Jira Administrator rights please contact your Admin to get the settings adjusted. 

We hope you are excited about this feature and if you are interested in being an Early Adopter click the Feedback button and let us know!

If I don't see "Dates" yet does that mean I don't have the right administrative privileges?

Love this! It's such a simple little thing but it makes a massive difference to our use of the tool - we've been using JPD for idea gathering but it never really fitted our product roadmapping because of the date restrictions. Can't wait to get this in play!

@Kelly Lillis the "Dates" are not activated yet so even with Admin rights you will not see them.

This is great and all but I want to see a weekly view.
