Scheduling made simple: empowering users and boosting IT efficiency

Digital transformations can be challenging. Your users might hesitate to embrace new technologies, fearing the disruption that change can bring. This can mean it is not easy to keep projects on track while keeping those hesitant users happy. One way to make things smoother is by empowering your users to choose their own migration methods and dates. This approach leads to a better user experience and helps IT teams to maintain the velocity they require to get the job done on time and in budget. Juriba DPC has a host of features that assist with planning capacity and engaging end-users and now, with the latest updates, enabling end-user self-scheduling is easier and more friendly than ever.

Why end-user engagement and self-scheduling matter

1. It’s simple and easy Letting users schedule their migrations makes the process straightforward. They can pick a date that works for them within the allowed range, reducing back-and-forth communication and freeing up IT teams to focus on bigger tasks.

2. Keeps things moving Self-scheduling puts users in control of their migrations, so there’s no need to wait for IT to assign dates. This keeps the project moving and helps IT teams hit their deadlines.

3. Better experience for users The new features make self-scheduling a smooth and stress-free experience. Clear instructions and tools that are easy to use mean happier users who feel more in control, leading to higher completion rates.

4. Builds teamwork between users and IT By giving users some control while still guiding their choices, IT teams can create a sense of partnership. This approach builds trust and ensures that everyone’s needs are met.

What's new in self-service scheduling?

Updates to self-scheduling in Juriba DPC v5.14 give users more flexibility while giving IT teams better control. Here’s what’s been improved:

1. Date restrictions to stay on track Users can now pick migration dates that match tasks in your project. By setting forecast dates, you can limit their choices to a specific range - for example, within a few days before or after the forecast date. This helps keep schedules aligned and avoid delays.

2. A more helpful calendar The self-scheduling calendar now:

   1. Clearly shows the first and last available dates, so users know exactly what their options are.

   2. Automatically jumps to the first available month when opened, saving users time and making it easier to find a date.

These updates make scheduling easier for users and help IT teams manage projects more smoothly. Checkout how in our interactive demo below.
