The visual calendar in the **Plan** module gives your team an overview of planned and scheduled marketing activities, including planned, in progress, and completed tasks and events. You can monitor the progress of what is on (or off) track and drill into specific work to ensure your team meets its goals.

To access the calendar, click **Plan** and select the **Calendar** tab.
