Centralize the substrate
One saved city group, one saved overlap window, one workspace. Every contributor reads from the same source — so 'when can we meet?' has the same answer in every conversation.
Collaborative planning
How to organize a collaborative planning workflow
Collaboration breaks down when each contributor holds a different version of the schedule. A shared workspace, a saved group and a canonical window keep everyone planning from the same state.

Use the workspace as the operational dashboard
Pin the team group, recurring slots and upcoming deadlines to the workspace. Anyone who opens it sees the current operational state in seconds — no Slack archaeology required.
Plan in business days, communicate in local time
Internally express deadlines in business days for accuracy; externally render them in each contributor's local time for clarity. Both views come from the same source.
Restore, don't rebuild
Collaborative workflows should resume in one click. If the next planning session starts with rebuilding the group or re-deriving the window, the workflow isn't continuous yet.

Frequently asked
Who owns the workspace in a collaborative setup?⌄
One owner edits, the rest read. Shared editing requires explicit roles — start with a single owner and add editors as the team grows.
What if contributors are in very different time zones?⌄
Use UTC as the canonical time and render every view in local time. The team scheduler does both automatically.
