Gone are the days of hard-bound notebooks and calculators to plan out weddings. The new trend is to creatively put tech tools into use to organise and budget for a wedding. Dhaval Singh , an engineer recently gained the attention of the internet for using tech tools like Jira and Google Sheets to organize his big day.
He shared some screengrabs of his wedding planning board which he created with his fiancée to manage various tasks invitation cards and pre-wedding photoshoots to guest gifts and outfits. As per his X bio, Dhaval Singh, a graduate of Bits Pilani, is a lead founding Engineer at Seezo. Jira, typically used in workplaces for project management, was repurposed by Singh to create a to-do list for his wedding.
The planning originally began with his fiancée creating a Google spreadsheet called the wedding sheet, but Singh soon realized it wasn’t scalable enough for a large Indian wedding. So, he transitioned their planning to Jira, where they could track everything more effectively. Named the " Aditi-Dhaval Wedding Board," the post has gained over 6.
183 lakh views on X. The board categorizes tasks into to-do, in progress, and done, and includes sections for function rituals, food and catering, and even honeymoon. — Dhavalsingh7 (@Dhavalsingh7) The post amused social media, with users calling it the most techy thing ever.
One person joked about the imagined catch-up calls between Aditi and Dhaval, while others praised Singh’s ingenuity, saying that if Jira can handle the complexities of an Indian wedding—with its tight timelines, changing requirements, and stakeholder management—it’s ready for any market or product. One joked, "Jira be like - meri shaktiyon ka galat istemal kiya jaa raha hai (my powers are being used for wrong reasons)." Inspired, other techies shared their own experiences using similar applications for wedding planning, sparking a conversation on the practical use of project management tools beyond the workplace.
