The Joy of Scheduling meetings
I cannot stand scheduling meetings.
My office lives and dies by the Exchange server, and what stinks is that even if you cruise the participants calendars looking for an available timeslot, that doesn’t mean that those people are actually available.
Most of the time I find that I’m probably wide open on the calendar, but I have plenty of things to work on and therefore not available for Project Y. Sometimes this leads people to believe that I think Project Y is a colossal waste of my time. This is not necessarily the case. Quite frankly I, like most people, have plenty of other things to do besides sit in meetings.
So Doodle works great for that, you just mix and match and see when people are available. Additionally, you don’t have visibility into other organizations Free/Busy servers, so this allows you to schedule your big important meeting with Customer Z without playing “Outlook Invite” tag like a mental patient.
