Illustrative day

The forecast is a good guess. The day is the truth.

Intraday management keeps the schedule honest while the day runs, so a surprise at 11:00 gets fixed at 11:30, not discovered in tomorrow’s report.

Planned vs actual

Who’s early, late or off schedule.

Supervisors see the plan next to what is really happening, as it happens, rather than in tomorrow’s report.

Gaps, offered

Open hours find a name.

When coverage slips below the need, the gap is offered to agents as extra hours or a swap as it opens, on the same day, from their own desktop.

Two curves

Voice and digital, staffed apart.

Voice and digital work are forecast separately, so chat and email queues are staffed on their own curve rather than borrowed from the phone line.
