「スケジュール感をすり合わせましょう」 - what exactly are we going to discuss?


When I first received an invitation to a meeting containing words similar to
「スケジュール感をすり合わせましょう」 I thought we are going to discuss the schedule so that
"everyone is on the same page". The schedule would be presented so that
everyone gets an understanding of it. Hence 感 "the feeling", like in 義務感 or
切迫感.

However after reading [スケジュール感って何？](http://oshiete.goo.ne.jp/qa/1653692.html)
I am less convinced it was the case.

I understand スケジュール感 is a made-up word, but what exactly does 感 convey here?
Would it be a discussion about an objective schedule (with possibilities to
alter it according to the opinions) or everyone's subjective understanding of
the given schedule?

If the latter - why 感? Are there other similar usages of 感?




In my own words, the relatively new word 「スケジュール[感]{かん}」 is most often used to
refer to:

> "one's rough **_image_** of when and how things should be conducted on a
> timeline (towards a goal)"

In other words, the "final" schedule does not exist on paper yet.

「スケジュール感をすり[合]{あ}わせましょう。」, therefore, would mean:

> "Let's compare and adjust our スケジュール感!"

Again, it is not saying "Let's make the final schedule!" even though that
**_might_** happen if things went unexpectedly well at the meeting.

The 「感」 here would mean 「～～に[関]{かん}する[感覚]{かんかく}」 or 「～～の感じ」.
