As a staff member, I want a way to have organized deadlines on GitHub, so I can understand the schedule.

Deadline: Fri 18:00

Since GitHub doesn't have an easy way to organize the deadlines, we've been struggling to organize them in an intuitive way.

We're looking for a way to have built-in deadlines on GitHub.

Spent sometime looking for something and the best thing I could find was this Github action that takes a variable the top of the issue with the due date (deadline) and places/replaces a label with the status.

What do you think @vjpixel? Should we try this?

Also I found a issue at the Github project it self about this dating back to 2015, with no response from Github itself.

Since the action just labels as Overdue and Due in 1 week, I think it doesn't add us very much.

I did some research and Jira has reminders, automation and very good integrations with Slack and Github.

Since it solves many of our problems, I'm going to give it a try this Sprint.
