How would you improve Calendly?

What this question tests

Focused product improvement thinking on a widely used scheduling tool, identifying a specific friction and a testable fix.

Confirm the goal: reducing scheduling friction, increasing meeting show up rate, or improving discoverability of availability.
Segment users: hosts setting up meeting types versus invitees trying to find a workable time slot.
Identify the pain point: invitees across many time zones often struggle to quickly spot a mutually convenient time.
Prioritize time zone clarity, since it is a common, well known source of scheduling confusion and no shows.
Propose a feature: a visual overlap view highlighting the best mutual time windows automatically.
Define success with booking completion rate and reduction in reschedule requests due to time zone confusion.

Targets a specific, well known pain point in scheduling tools, time zone confusion, rather than a vague redesign.
Proposes a concrete feature, a visual overlap view, that directly solves the named friction.
Sets a clear metric, reschedule requests due to time zone confusion, tied precisely to the proposed fix.
Considers both sides of the interaction, host setup and invitee booking experience.

Proposes broad, unrelated feature additions instead of a focused improvement to a known pain point.
Ignores the host side of the workflow entirely.

How would you measure if this reduced no shows, not just reschedules?
How would you design this for someone booking across many time zones at once, like a global team?
How would you validate this is worth prioritizing over other requested features?
