Calendars enable collaboration by tracking events from across the organization. Shared calendars can be used for booking meetings, tracking timelines and milestones for shared to-do list to complete specific items, alerts for when new product will be launched, HR leave calendar, adding business events and much more.
Calendar Usage
Schedule Team, department or Company Meetings
Instead of emailing a meeting date and agenda, put it on the shared calendar. Departmental worksops, appointments that might be of interest to whole department. People who have subscribed to the RSS feeds or email notifications of the calendar, will automatically be updated about the new event. The new event notification also shows in the desktop calendar. If changes need to be made, anyone on your team can do so and everyone will have immediate access to the same, up-to-date version.
Track Project deadlines and Milestones
Post deadline and milestone dates on the calendars in the project space. Everyone in the organization is then aware of the status of the project and other teams can co-ordinate their plans accordingly.
Leave Management
Shared calendars can be used to track vacation information. People can add events for days they'll be out. This lets individuals manage their time-off and automatically communicate it to the broader groups they work with.
Business Events
Add events to the calendar, specify the subject, location, date, time and description. Peopel interested in participating in the conference or seminar can add their names. After the event is complete, a related blog post can be added to the system and linked from here. This way everyone knows what happened at the event and can gain from the learnings.
