Schedule Rotation & Team Fairness Guidelines
For US East Coast teams, 8:00-10:00 AM EST aligns with evening in Pakistan (6:00-8:00 PM PKT). Use async updates for non-critical status items.
Async Handoff Best Practice:When live overlap is shorter than 2 hours, establish written end-of-day handoff logs (e.g. key decisions, blockers, and next actions) so the opposite team can pick up work seamlessly.
