Publicly announced feature scope and the designed rescheduling workflow.
A larger canvas. A clearer week.
Power users and executives live in their calendars: back-to-back meetings, constant changes. On iPad, that meant switching views and too many steps to adjust a day.
Santosh Sagar from my team contributed the initial designs. I took over early as product designer and carried the experience through to launch.
See more. Act where you are.
See the whole week.
Five-day and seven-day views put the full working week on one screen, so a packed schedule reads at a glance.
Act without leaving the calendar.
Drag-and-drop rescheduling cuts the designed workflow from four steps to one. Synced category colours make priorities easy to spot.

Busy days. Clearer cards.
Making packed days easier to read.
Busy day views were hard to read. Cards wasted space, and truncated titles made it hard to distinguish multiple overlapping events.
BeforeAfterDrag the divider or use the arrow keys to compare the interface before and after.
Make every card work harder.
We redesigned the cards with better padding and truncation logic, so overlapping events stay distinguishable.
Join the next event from the calendar.
We added a join button on the calendar surface for the next upcoming event.
For people with packed days, the next meeting is easy to find and quick to join.
