One really nice feature in Jira is "Releases" - which basically act as a 'draft' and release plan for a changelog. It's not so much the aggregation of development tasks that I'm referring to (which is already largely covered by the various project management integrations at the individual post level), but instead the "Related Work" section of a Jira Release that allows you to define (and link to) all the little supporting tasks that are involved in releasing software: writing help articles, publishing blog posts, drafting customer success playbooks, generating creatives for ads and socials, setting up product analytics, etc. I'm not exactly sure which part of canny this best belongs in, but I could imagine any of: part of the changelog drafting UI, adjacent to 'Linked Posts' - in which case these supporting tasks could be simple checkboxes with (smart)links, or potentially make use of the project management integrations (jira, github, asana, etc) except on the changelog object instead of feature/post object. a similar approach could simply aggregate post level project management integration tasks from any linked posts on the changelog draft page. (this is simpler, since it's merely rendering existing data in a different place - though doesn't completely satisfy the intended purpose) it could potentially be a roadmap level feature, perhaps adding a markdown editor + 'related work' task list above the roadmap table - which could basically transform roadmaps from just a list of posts into a 'plan'. or potentially it could even be a completely new "Releases" or "Plans" feature that sits between Roadmaps and Changelogs... similar to the ideas above, this could be a UI to assemble links to both posts (and their linked external tasks) + supporting tasks, along with some space to write a Markdown description of the overall body of work. This could also be an ideal source/mechanism for AI generated changelogs. Whichever manifestation, I can imagine something along these lines serving as a relatively simple but powerful capstone step in the product release process.
