Yes, personal Outlook calendars can be shared and viewed with Calendar Browser.
When all members of a team or workgroup share each others Outlook calendars everyone will benefit and work will be more efficient. The obvious advantage of using shared calendars is that you can easily see what everyone is doing.
With shared calendars, managers will get a better idea of what employees are planning and when they are available, so that they can arrange events and tasks accordingly. Managers can also and understand what each employee is working with at any given moment.
Shared calendars work in the same way for the team members, of course: they can see when the managers are available. All members of the staff can also more easily determine when most people are free for a group meeting.
The personal Outlook calendars are added to Calendar Browser via the settings, either by browsing to it or by writing the name of the shared calendar.
As the calendars can be grouped, organizations can use Calendar Browser for many different work teams. Each employee/manager will add only the needed calendar groups to his or her Outlook calendar view.
The Calendar Browser Overview displays all the shared calendars, and by using the different views and the search feature you can easily find the calendar or appointment you are looking for.
Calendar Browser was first developed as a tool for booking of shared corporate resources, and if you decide to use Calendar Browser to share calendars you may of course use it for booking too.

Please have a look at Calendar Browser if you are thinking about sharing Outlook calendars within your organization. Even if the documentation is mostly focused on resource booking, I am sure you will understand the benefit of using Calendar Browser to show and work with shared Outlook calendars.
