Working with US clients across time zones

The United States spans multiple time zones, so a generic US meeting time is inadequate. Agree overlap and asynchronous practices with the actual client team.

A practical starting point

Work through these checks in order. Use the results to decide what needs to change in your own workflow.

  1. Record each participant's named time zone.
  2. Define review windows and expected response times.
  3. Keep decisions and acceptance criteria in a shared written record.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

A team in California may need a different collaboration window from one in New York.

A mistake to avoid

Do not assume a fixed UTC offset remains correct throughout the year.

How to check progress

Track decision delays and whether critical meetings consistently include the right people.
