JIRA, the widely-used project management and issue tracking software created by Atlassian, gives you the ability to update your time zone according to your current location. This functionality guarantees that all dates and times displayed in the system correspond to your local time, enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of project management. In this guide, we will explain the process of adjusting your time zone in JIRA.
Step-by-step guide to change the Time Zone in JIRA
Changing your time zone in JIRA is quick and easy. You just need to follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Log in to your JIRA account
Obviously, to make any changes to your JIRA settings, you need to be logged in. So, open your browser and navigate to your JIRA instance and log in.
Step 2: Access your Profile
Once you are logged in, click on your profile icon located at the upper-right corner of your JIRA dashboard. From the dropdown menu, select Profile.
Step 3: Access your User Settings
After accessing your profile, look for the Manage your account option on the left-hand side menu and click on it. This will redirect you to the settings page.
Step 4: Change your Time Zone
On the settings page, you will find the Preferences section. Here, you will see the Time Zone option. Click on the Edit button next to it.
A dropdown list will appear with all the available time zones. Scroll down and select your correct time zone. Afterward, make sure to save your changes by clicking on the Submit button at the bottom.
Notes
Please note that changing the time zone will only affect your individual account and not the whole JIRA system’s time settings. The system-wide time zone settings can only be changed by the JIRA System Administrator. If you think your system-wide time zone setting is not correct, please contact your System Administrator.
That’s it! Now you have successfully changed your time zone in JIRA. This simple adjustment can make a significant difference in your daily project management activities, as it ensures that all time-related data displayed is in sync with your local time.
