Overview

About the content calendar template

A content calendar keeps a publishing pipeline organized. Planning a quarter of themes and a month-by-month cadence means writers and editors always know what is due and where it stands.

This template is the built-in quarterly Content Calendar starter project in Atlas. It ships with milestones to sign off quarterly themes, populate the editorial calendar, and ship each month of content, followed by a quarter retrospective.

Because it is a live Atlas project, each content item is a task you can view as a list, board, or timeline, and progress rolls into dashboards so you plan and report from one place.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is a content calendar?
A content calendar plans and tracks each piece of content through its stages with owners, formats, and publish dates, so a publishing pipeline stays organized and on schedule.
How far ahead should I plan content?
The starter plans a full quarter of themes and a month-by-month cadence. The seeded risk on backlog suggests keeping a buffer so the pipeline never runs dry.
Can I see content as a calendar and a board?
Yes. In Atlas each content item is a task, so the same pieces can be viewed as a list, board, or timeline without duplicating anything.
