The Change Calendar in Jira Service Management (JSM) offers a clear, centralized view of scheduled change requests—helping IT and DevOps teams minimize risks and streamline execution. Now, with Atlassian’s recent enhancements—including calendar exports and JQL-based filtering—managing change events is more powerful than ever .

What’s New: Key Enhancements

1. Calendar Export

You can now effortlessly export your Change Calendar—ideal for sharing schedules with stakeholders or archiving change histories beyond Jira. This smart addition bridges team collaboration with broader communication workflows.

2. JQL-Based Filtering

Say goodbye to static calendar views. The newly introduced JQL (Jira Query Language) builder empowers you to set dynamic, precise filters to display only the change events that matter. Whether it's by project, assignee, status, or custom fields—JQL makes it possible.

Why These Enhancements Matter

Better Visibility & Control

JQL filtering ensures you tailor the calendar view to your immediate needs, slicing through clutter to focus on high-priority or time-sensitive changes. Whether it’s by urgency, impacted services, or approver—your calendar now aligns with your workflow.

Seamless Sharing & Reporting

Export functionality turns your calendar into a portable asset, simplifying reporting, planning meetings, or compliance reviews. A calendar report can quickly become a shared reference point across teams.

Enhanced Collaboration

Teams across operations, change advisory boards, and external partners can now easily access or receive relevant calendar views—ensuring alignment, transparency, and synchronized planning.
