CHOOSE BY TEAM SIZE
Use the scheduling workflow that fits your team.
A rota for two people has different pressures from a rota for ten. Start with the size of the team, then make availability, coverage, roles and changes visible at the level you actually need.

Keep handovers, time off and the one current plan clear when every absence matters.

Shift Helper keeps the underlying loop simple: collect when people can work, check the roles and periods that need cover, review conflicts, then publish one current schedule. The detail changes as a team grows, but the owner should not have to reconstruct the answer from a spreadsheet and a chat thread.
Separate available, unavailable and preferred times.
Resolve coverage gaps and hard conflicts before publishing.
Give the team one answer and keep meaningful changes visible.
