This really depends on how busy the participants' schedules are.
I've had to explicitly set up a recurring weekly meeting 4 weeks in advance to meet a higher-up at least once per week, because otherwise finding 30 minutes of their free time would take ~3 weeks.
- blowski 4y agoIn that case, I'd book it in 3 weeks in advance.
- ThePadawan 4y agoGlad that works for you! I can't imagine my manager would find it very amusing if I had to tell them that I had to delay a bugfix or feature by 3 weeks because I did not schedule my meetings with enough foresight.

- blowski 4y agoI wonder if those higher-ups have fully-booked out calendars because people keep booking meetings just in case they need them.
- ThePadawan 4y agoI can't tell you that - but I can tell you that I personally cancel calls 2 days in advance if there is nothing to discuss, or cut the call short 10 minutes in once it becomes clear there is nothing more to talk about. (I want to emphasize that I'm talking about this higher-up following a Manager's schedule, not a Maker's schedule [0]. At this point in my career, I was the [suffering] adapter between the two.)
