Online event planning template

Planning a webinar, workshop, or team-wide event in Jira? You’re not alone. When you’re managing internal demos, customer-facing webinars, or company-wide town halls, event coordination takes effort and often involves stakeholders across departments.

Missed deadlines, unclear responsibilities, or last-minute changes can turn even a small event into a major time sink. But there’s good news: you can streamline your event workflows using the tools your team already uses.

Instead of juggling spreadsheets, emails, and calendar invites, create a customizable event planning template in Jira. It brings everything into one place, supports collaboration, and helps you keep track of dependencies, deliverables, and last-minute requests in real time.

Contract Review Template for the Legal Team: a Free Checklist

Whether you’re reviewing a routine non-disclosure agreement or a complex commercial contract, your team likely follows roughly the same steps. Although many legal professionals don’t require a predefined plan, in some cases, having a contract review template is very helpful. 

For example, if you have a large legal department, work in a legal firm with numerous clients, or need to scale best practices, in all these cases, process standardization is essential. A contract review template enables you to document all the crucial steps, ensuring that your processes are robust and repeatable.

In this guide, we’ll share a free contract review template for legal teams. We also explain how to use it in Jira or Monday and how to add it to your tasks automatically.

DevOpsDayLA is Southern California's premier conference focused on the human side of technology delivery. For 15 years, we've brought together SoCal practitioners who understand that great software isn't just about tools, it's about people working together effectively.

The 2026 Lens: DevOps in an AI World: You're working in a world where AI is everywhere, embedded in your tools, requested by your management, and reshaping how teams deliver software. Whether you're embracing these changes or navigating the challenges they create, your experience matters.

We're looking for stories about how you and your organizations are adapting your mindsets, processes, and team dynamics in this rapidly evolving landscape. How did your team integrate AI into existing workflows? What changed about collaboration when AI entered the picture? Where do humans remain critical in automated processes? How do you build the next generation of engineers when entry-level work is automated? What are the real implementation challenges you're facing in Southern California's entertainment, gaming, aerospace, retail, healthcare, and manufacturing companies?

What makes DevOpsDayLA different: We focus on culture, collaboration, and cross-industry implementation stories rather than pure technical deep-dives. We're all about the people and processes that make technology successful in an AI world, not the technology itself.

We especially welcome new speakers, under-represented voices, and fresh perspectives from across SoCal's diverse tech landscape.
