Global Timezones and Project Task Due dates

Avatar

Hi, 

 

We currently are having due dates that vary on projects between time zones (IST vs MST/EST) that throw off deadlines and in our instance we have specific schedules for the 2 as well as exception dates (holiday calendars). We thought we had found a solution under the project preferences when working with Workfront support and for awhile things seemed to work. However, recently we are now seeing the same schedules issues occurring and different due dates in different time zones that are causing items to be late.

 

In a recent example we had the Diwali holiday fall in between the duration of a task and because of this exception date it pushed this task due date further out then just the time zone. When working with Workfront support on this recently example, they advised that the schedules are working as they are set to, which is fine, their recommendation was to have our Global teams set there work laptops to the home office time zone and this will not cause delays in project task due dates.

 

We don't want this to be our first recommendation to our Global teams, so is there any one out there in the community that found a workaround/workable solution to assist in this matter? We both have a 40 hour work week and the start time and end time might be a little different so we don't schedule our project on a time rather than a date.

Hi @Krshll We had the same issue and asking global teams to change their laptops timezone to match the WF timezone is your best bet.
