Overall Satisfaction with Shiftboard
Shiftboard is used across the entire Customer Experience department. The business problem that it addresses is that it is yet another tab that an agent has to keep open throughout their workday.
To make a better agent experience, it would be helpful if Shiftboard connected with their Google Calendar. This way our agents could receive reminders of upcoming breaks, lunches, meetings or any other scheduled times within their Shiftboard. It can also be hard to read when looking for specific times. I use this tool frequently to see what agents are scheduled for which channel support at what times and when their breaks are. It's difficult to have to highlight over a timeline to see when the break is, and it would be easier to highlight the timeline and see the entire scheduled.

- It provides a good visual for those who are visual interpreters. This way there are able to see a timeline of their day and what portions of it are 'green' meaning they will be on live support.
- It's very clear what channel they are scheduled for the day as it listed on the top of that event.
- Shiftboard can be difficult to navigate, and when an agent bookmarks the tool it stays on their schedule for that specific date, often causing confusion. For example, mine is stuck on January 27th, 2017.
- It's difficult to get to your specific schedule.
- The overview of schedules within one week is also very difficult to read.
