Cockpit Calendar View

During several of my chairsides, users have shown me how they use Outlook Calendar as a workflow tool.  You can see a screengrab of it here:  https://drive.google.com/open?id=13NsjbCtRJJ1qnl-CRW6rbGclTtTeMRzU

The idea would be to redesign the calendar view such that planned timeline activities mimic the Calendar layout, complete with CTAs due at the bottom.  Furthermore, the user would have the ability to color code the various types of activities (e.g. Green would designate internal meetings, Yellow would designate weekly meetings, Red would designate QBRs, etc.).

Thoughts on this approach?

    Hi Tim,

    Very interesting idea. Do you think tasks hidden under CTAs would work for customers in this calendar view or should tasks also show up as a separate item on the calendar? In case of latter, would this clutter the view and would tasks without CTA context make sense?

    Thanks,
    Nitisha

    Hey Nitisha - 

    Great question.  I think the key here is to have a more visual representation of which tasks are due on which dates - not just the overall due date of the CTA.  I hear your concern on the CTA context...

    Perhaps a solution would be to slide out a CTA side-bar if a task was selected?  I'm afraid nested CTA/Tasks would clutter the view too much.

    Thoughts?  Thanks!
