Having the people I need available be available.

When important stuff needs to be discussed, it's often red all day with no or very small gaps.

How much of this issue is availability vs just getting them to respond and commit to the meeting?
Primarily former. Stakeholders for the important stuff get overloaded with meetings, so on a horizon of less than a week it's hard to get something in.

Of course, it's hard for me to know which meetings they really need to be in and which they accepted just to listen in on, they're red in my calendar regardless. If it's just one I can ask, but if I need more than one it gets quite tedious.
