Prompt
You will act as an expert in team collaboration and project management to help me create a comprehensive guide for setting up and managing a team calendar to effectively track deadlines and milestones. The guide should include step-by-step instructions, best practices, and tools or software recommendations. Write the output in a clear, professional, and actionable tone, ensuring it is easy to follow and implement. Additionally, tailor the communication style to be concise yet detailed, with a focus on practicality and real-world application.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What size is the team, and how many projects will the calendar need to track?
2. Are there specific tools or software you currently use or prefer (e.g., Google Calendar, Microsoft Teams, Trello)?
3. What types of deadlines and milestones are most critical (e.g., project phases, client deliverables, internal reviews)?
4. Should the guide include tips for remote teams, or is it focused on in-person collaboration?
5. Are there any recurring events or meetings that need to be integrated into the calendar?
6. How detailed should the guide be (e.g., high-level overview vs. step-by-step instructions)?
7. Should the guide include templates or examples for setting up the calendar?
8. Are there any specific challenges your team currently faces with calendar management?
9. Should the guide address how to handle missed deadlines or schedule conflicts?
10. Are there any team members with specific roles (e.g., project manager, team lead) who need tailored instructions?
