SCHEDULE MAKER / REVIEW / PUBLISH
Make a schedule that still works after the first change.
A shift schedule maker should do more than fill empty boxes. It should start with availability, show coverage and leave the owner with a clear, reviewable answer.

A quick schedule can still miss a required role, ignore a hard availability block or create an unfair run of difficult shifts. The useful workflow makes the decisions and remaining exceptions visible before anyone publishes.
Collect availability and preferences before assigning names.
Compare the result with the people and roles each period needs.
Resolve exceptions and publish one current rota.
A better schedule-making loop
