At MUI, we avoid as many ad hoc meetings as possible; however, there is still a need to create new ones, e.g., for a new recurring event or Donut calls. Because we work from different time zones and have differing schedules, new events need to be scheduled in time slots where all the attendees are available; therefore, we recommend enabling the “Working Hours” feature to help:

The calendars we recommend that all MUIers join: Google Calendar calendars
Pros: A team calendar allows you to delete an event. Cons: A team calendar leads to spam emails to Google Groups that were invited to the event, e.g., RSVP, which are not automatically ignored, which breaks with Event guests
We don’t use a dedicated calendar per the cons ⬆.
