Every record stays visible
| Participant | Joint elapsed window | Staffing demand |
|---|---|---|
| Facilitator | 3 hours | 3 person-hours |
| Operator | 3 hours | 3 person-hours |
| Pair total | 3 elapsed hours | 6 person-hours |

How the case leads to a decision
Two participants×three hours=6 person-hours. The session still occupies three elapsed hours, not six elapsed hours.
The bounded result
Reserve six person-hours for the three-hour pair session, and separately verify that both people share the full window.

A report that leads to a decision
Illustrative manager memoSynthetic planning case: A troubleshooting rehearsal needs two participants together for three elapsed hours. The staffing plan reserves three person-hours in total.
- Define required participation
- Rehearsal owner: Both roles must attend the full three-hour session.
- Charge each availability ledger
- Coordinator: Three hours are reserved for each participant, six person-hours combined.
- Verify the joint booking
- Participants: Both confirm the same full window before the rehearsal is committed.
Decision to make: Reserve six person-hours for the three-hour pair session, and separately verify that both people share the full window.
Filled manual planning note
Invented planning text. Adapt it to your evidence and confirmed owners.
Reserve six person-hours for the three-hour pair session, and separately verify that both people share the full window. Two participants×three hours=6 person-hours. The session still occupies three elapsed hours, not six elapsed hours. Person-hours measure staffing demand under this protocol, not a productivity score or a promise that pairing is faster.
Put the outline to work
- Define required participation. Check: Both roles must attend the full three-hour session.
- Charge each availability ledger. Check: Three hours are reserved for each participant, six person-hours combined.
- Verify the joint booking. Check: Both confirm the same full window before the rehearsal is committed.

No. Separate calendar availability must overlap for the full three hours.
Does this create tasks in the product?
No. The brief is a manual planning resource. Use the product access link to check onboarding and the workflows available in your account.
