- Assign one person to approve quantity, access and timing changes.

Decision notes specific to Set the booking timeline: event planning workflow
set the booking timeline only works as a decision once decision dates + venue approval + payment milestones is tied to a named zone and a responsible person — write it down, don't leave it as a general principle.
Stress-test "set the booking timeline" against the busiest guest period, narrowest access point and latest handover time before relying on it.
