We have team members across multiple time zones. Making this work well requires intentional defaults — not everyone online at the same time.Documentation Index

Async-first
Async-first means the default expectation is that people will respond when they’re working, not immediately. A message in Slack is not an interruption that needs an instant reply. If something is genuinely urgent and time-sensitive, call it out explicitly (“need this by EOD PT”) or ping directly with context.Core overlap hours
Teams establish a window of overlap hours where synchronous meetings and real-time collaboration are expected. Check with your manager for your team’s current overlap window. Outside those hours, async is the default.Scheduling meetings
- Share your working hours in your calendar and Slack status.
- Use a scheduling tool (e.g., Calendly) or share multiple options across time zones.
- Rotate meeting times if recurring meetings are inconvenient for some attendees — don’t consistently schedule at times that fall outside someone’s working hours.
- Record video meetings when possible so people who can’t attend can catch up.
