Overview

Due dates drive the ordering of a learner’s to-do list and tell you, as their Coach, whether your team is on schedule. You set one whenever you assign content: both the 1:1 assignment wizard and the sprint wizard end with a calendar step. JAM recommends deadlines 1-2 weeks out - long enough to finish, short enough to keep momentum.

​
Setting the date during assignment

There’s nothing extra to do - the final wizard step won’t let you finish without a date. Past dates are disabled in the calendar, and the suggested selection sits about two weeks ahead. The same recommendation applies to both assignment types.

​
Changing a sprint’s deadline

Already running a sprint that needs more time? On the Coaching page’s Team sprints tab, use the sprint row’s Edit action. The Update sprint dialog lets you change the title and pick a new due date, then Save.
1:1 assignments work differently - their due date can’t be edited after creation. The Individual Assignments table has no edit action, so set the date carefully when you create the assignment.

​
What happens next

  • The deadline appears on the learner’s My To Dos, and assignments are ordered by what’s due first.
  • Your Team sprints table shows each sprint’s due date next to its live progress counts.
  • When a sprint’s due date passes, the sprint ends - learners keep access to the track via the Course Library, but the shared deadline is gone.
  • Extending a sprint deadline takes effect for the whole team at once; there are no per-member sprint deadlines.

​
Troubleshooting

Deadlines run to the end of the day, so the table can show the cutoff as one calendar day after the day you clicked. You and your learners always see the same stored deadline, so nobody is working against a different date.
That isn’t supported yet - and re-assigning the same track doesn’t update the existing assignment either. If the deadline matters for a group, run the content as a sprint instead: sprint deadlines stay editable for as long as the sprint runs.
