Use casesLaunches & deadlines
For product teams🚀 A product launch calendar where the launch already happens.
A product launch calendar pinned in the channel that's shipping the launch. Code freezes, demo run-throughs, ship dates, retros — visible to everyone who actually has to do them, never lost in a thread.
The workflow
Before & after Scalendar.
Without Scalendar
You're shipping v3 next month. Launch dates live in Notion. Marketing's countdown is in Asana. Engineering tracks code-freeze in a Linear cycle. Half the team finds out about Tuesday's demo from a screenshot in #random.
- ✕Three apps open to answer "when is the launch?"
- ✕Code freeze announced in a thread, never seen again
- ✕Demo run-throughs scheduled — by someone, somewhere

Your launch plan, on a calendar
What goes on a product launch calendar.
Think of it as a launch plan template that actually lives where your team works. The kickoff, the code freeze, the demo run-throughs, the ship date, the retro — pinned in Slack, on a real calendar, instead of a static doc nobody updates.
Kickoffs
Drop the kickoff date the moment scope is signed. Everyone joins from the same calendar.
Code freezes
A pinned event in #engineering instead of a thread that vanishes after 4 hours.
Demo prep
Two or three run-throughs before launch — booked in the channel doing the demo.
Ship dates
The big one. Reminded 24h, 1h, and 15 min before — so it's never a surprise.
Retros
Calendared for the Monday after. The team that shipped is the team that reviews.
Other ways teams use it.
All use casesStandups & rituals
Recurring sync, design crit, retro — pinned to the channel they actually happen in.

AMAs, workshops, office hours. Members RSVP from inside Slack.
Annual leave for teams
A shared #team-ooo calendar. Who's off, when, and for how long — at a glance.
