Why Cadence?

Click for Documentation

Plan the work. Grow in your roles. Stay grounded — a calendar for Jira that helps people deliver and flourish, not just fill the week.

A vote of confidence in your people

In an age where many fear AI will replace them, Cadence helps the company say something different: you are still the most valuable piece of the business. The app is built so leaders can assist employees in keeping a healthy balance — to grow, develop, and still flourish on the job.

That story lives in Week Compass — your map for the next seven days — where roles, Big Rocks, Renew, and a daily ABC plan sit beside the work calendar, not as a separate wellness brochure.

• Roles — the hats people wear at work and in life, so balance is visible, not optional.
• Big Rocks — the few things that must move this week, placed on the calendar as Focus blocks before the sand fills every hour.
• Renew — Physical, Social, Mental, and Spiritual — stay effective by not running empty.
• Day Plan · ABC-123 — must finish, important, and optional, with tags for focused work, manage, and fill the tank.
• Daily Tracker — light habits and notes that protect delivery — not a timesheet.

A working calendar for everything they juggle

Cadence is a mixed calendar for Jira — one canvas for issue dates, meetings, milestones, focus time, OOO, holidays, and the other events an employee has to juggle alongside the job.

• Issues + events together — due dates and custom events on the same board; drag to reschedule.
• Day, Week, Month, Year, Timeline — pick the view that matches how you plan.
• Unlimited calendars — private, team, or everyone, each with its own JQL.
• Today — schedule, due-soon issues, reminders, and RSVP in one personal inbox.
• Meeting notes → Confluence — turn meetings into searchable pages with agenda, decisions, and actions.
