Author and editor
Alex Fromm
Alex builds WhenWorks at Second Shift Ventures and writes about the group-scheduling decisions the product is designed to support. His guides focus on the decisions around a poll: who must attend, which options are viable, how ties are resolved, and how a result becomes a confirmed event.
Practical scope
These are operating guides, not academic research. Recommendations are explained through concrete scheduling constraints and include cases where a poll is not the right tool.
