Shared Team Calendars en Pratique
Un aperçu concret du fonctionnement de shared team calendars Outlook Calendar avec SchedulingKit.
A consulting firm uses a shared Outlook calendar called "Client Meetings" that all 12 consultants can view. When a client books a meeting through SchedulingKit, the event appears on both the assigned consultant's personal Outlook calendar and the "Client Meetings" shared calendar.
The office manager monitors the shared calendar to prepare conference rooms and materials. When a client books an in-person strategy session, SchedulingKit checks the "Boardroom A" room calendar in Outlook. If it is available, the room is reserved automatically. The calendar event shows "Client Strategy Session - Room: Boardroom A" on the shared calendar.
Two executive assistants manage scheduling for four partners. They connect the partners' calendars with delegate access and handle booking confirmations, reschedules, and cancellations through SchedulingKit on behalf of the partners.
The firm's utilization report pulls from the shared calendar data: total client meetings per week, room utilization rate, and average meeting duration. This replaces manual tracking in a spreadsheet.
