Abstract

See full text

Various embodiments of the invention provide methods, systems, and computer program products for generating a roster template used in scheduling agent resources to conduct a campaign involving sending outbound communications using a first channel of communication to generate inbound communications using a second channel of communication. Specifically, a forecast is generated establishing a success rate for generating an inbound communication using the second channel of communication as a result of sending an outbound communication using the first channel of communication and an average response time to receive the inbound communication. Further, the forecast identifies a number of inbound communications predicted to be received for the campaign. From the forecast, a number of agent resources needed to handle the inbound communications is identified and a roster template is generated that comprises shifts identifying agent resources to schedule based on the number of agent resources needed to handle the inbound communications.
