Abstract
In one embodiment, one or more performance metrics for communication queues are monitored. The performance metrics may include metrics such as wait time, abandonment rate, and customer survey scores. Communications are retrieved from the queues and provided to agents based on rules associated with each queue. When a monitored performance metric for a queue falls below a threshold, the system determines one or more attributes of the rule associated with the queue that could be changed or removed to improve the performance metric. The determined attributes may be made based on the number of agents that will be available to handle communications from the queue after the attributes are changed, and historical performance metric data collected about the queue and agents that handled communications for the queue. The proposed changes to the rule may be presented to an administrator who may either accept or reject the proposed changes.
