Engineer uses Jira and Google sheets to plan wedding tasks
Dhaval Singh, an engineer, recently shared his innovative approach to planning his wedding using popular project management tools like Jira and Google sheets. He and his fiancée built a detailed wedding board to manage various tasks, including invitations, pre-wedding photoshoots, guest gifts, and outfits.The post, titled “Aditi-Dhaval Wedding Board,” quickly went viral, receiving over 400,000 views on X (formerly Twitter). The shared screenshots displayed a well-organised task list divided into categories such as “To-Do,” “In Progress,” and “Done,” with additional sections for “Function Rituals,” “Food and Catering,” and “Honeymoon.”While Jira is commonly used for software development and team project management, Dhaval adapted it to handle the complexities of wedding planning. Initially, his fiancée shared a Google spreadsheet titled “Wedding Sheet,” but Dhaval soon realised that it wasn’t scalable for an Indian wedding. He humorously shared in a follow-up post, “Google sheets wasn’t scalable for an Indian wedding. Moved to Jira instead.”
Social media reactions
The post quickly captured the attention of social media users, with many amused by Dhaval’s tech-savvy wedding planning. One user jokingly commented, “I can picture multiple Aditi <> Dhaval catch-up calls to find synergies and circle back on increasing shareholder value.” Another user quipped, “If a project management tool can handle the stakeholders conflicts, fixed timelines but changing requirements and endless dependencies of an Indian wedding, it’s ready for any market and product!”Also Read Blox fruits codes
