Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
While Kordiam's scheduling features are designed to enhance your workflow, there are common pitfalls to be aware of:

- Ignoring analytics: Failing to use audience analytics can result in poorly timed content. Always consider your audience's behaviour when planning your schedule.
- Lack of communication: Ensure that all team members are aware of their tasks and deadlines. Regular check-ins and updates can prevent miscommunication and ensure smooth operations.
