E-Scheduling Shared Resources<br />

Scheduling shared resources was accomplished by various manual means<br />

specific to the resource itself. Locating resources <strong>for</strong> meetings required<br />

employees to go to the various divisions and learn a variety of manual<br />

procedures.<br />

The e-scheduling team automated the scheduling of shared resources through<br />

use of Microsoft Outlook Calendar scheduler. They created a user manual of the<br />

automated process and put it on the agency shared drive <strong>for</strong> all to access. The<br />

team leader then held a series of training sessions. Implementation was in<br />

stages so staff could get used to the new system. The automated scheduling<br />

system now includes the conference rooms <strong>for</strong> all divisions, the audio/visual<br />

equipment, and the agency HQ vehicles.<br />
