New Home - Calendar

Description

As a user of Workfront, I want the ability to schedule my work on a calendar widget on the home screen so that I can time block efficiently. 

Why is this feature important to you

time blocking is an important part of my work process and the inability to mirror or complete that in Workfront is limiting.

How would you like the feature to work

Utilize the durations/planned dates for tasks/issues assigned to me and prompt them to show on a calendar view that connects with outlook to book time around existing meetings. Reference https://www.usemotion.com/ as general interface of widget... another ai connection for us too!

Current Behavior

calendar was removed from the New Home screen

Thanks @jerflo! Excited to see this in Priorities... but not exactly what we are asking for here unless there will be an additional overlap between those two views (ie a priorities widget on Home?). Nonetheless, I would love to be involved in testing that new feature!

@jerflo Please include me for feedback on this. I would like to test it in my Preview environment, since given some of the issues that I can't control with Priorities, we disabled that in Production.
 
What a bummer that it's part of the Priorities experience and not a Widget. 

Where's the best place to get an idea of timelines / fast follows for other Priorities functionality or controllability at this time? I need to see how and when other improvements to Priorities that I would need for our team to even use it will be made, therefore giving them the chance to use Calendar functionality?

This use to be an option with the old workfront experience. Would love it they brought back a calendar view as I found it very valuable to plan work.

Connecting Outlook Calendar and Workfront would be HUGE. Our department runs on Workfront, but our Enterprise lives and dies on Outlook.
