Key Takeaways

Classify conflicts before counting them; a double booking and a travel-time collision are different events.
Record who resolved each conflict, because assistant-resolvable and owner-only conflicts are not interchangeable.
Attendee confirmation is stronger close evidence than a calendar entry alone.

Question and scope

The review covers scheduling requests handled in a declared window. It fixes the calendar, the request queue, the priority rule, and the observation period before extraction.

Conflict taxonomy

Conflicts are classified as double booking, travel time, attendee availability, time zone, protected time, or policy limit. A request may carry more than one type, and the protocol states how that is counted.

Frame and exclusions

The frame comes from the scheduling queue and the calendar audit log. Declined and cancelled requests are included. Exclusions are recorded with reasons and reported.

Decision ownership

The protocol records who resolved each conflict. Assistant-resolvable conflicts are separated from conflicts that required the executive owner or another named decision maker.

Measurement

The review reports conflict detection, time to decision, repeat rescheduling, attendee confirmation, and unresolved cases. Every rate includes its denominator and missing-data count.

Independent replay

A second reviewer classifies the same protected sample. Disagreements about priority or conflict type return to the executive owner, not to a majority vote.

Privacy and access

The extract uses stable keys and omits meeting subjects and attendee details where possible. Calendar access is named, scoped, and removed at close.

Limits and next step

Results depend on the meeting mix, the priority rule, and the window. The next step is a written conflict rule and a retest, not a claim about scheduling quality.

Public frameworks and statistical sources provide context for the method. They do not certify this workflow, rank a provider, or supply a local result.

FAQs

Does the study rank assistants?

No. It describes how conflicts were recorded and resolved in one operating period. It does not rank people or prove causation.

Are declined requests included?

Yes. Declined and cancelled requests are part of the frame because they show how conflicts were handled.

What counts as resolution?

A final calendar state plus the required attendee confirmation and, where applicable, the owner decision.
