How to Build Custom Timeframes & Cadences in Craft.io

Aug 18, 2025

Planning doesn't always happen in neat 3-month blocks. This video shows you how to use Custom Time Frames to map Craft.io to the way your team actually works, whether that is via PIs, specific release windows, or yearly cycles.

The highlights:

  • Custom Cadences: Use the Timeframe Custom Field to build your own planning logic for Workspaces and Portfolios.
  • Smart Tagging: These are multi-select fields, so you can tag any item or OKR and see it across your roadmaps and dashboards.
  • Auto-Sync: Use automation rules to keep dates and hierarchies aligned without manual updates.
  • Better Commitments: Use these cadences in the Capacity Planning view to see your real bandwidth and make delivery promises you can keep.
