Use this interactive demo to learn how to update your timezone settings in Jira account preferences.

Quick summary

Changing your timezone in Jira ensures that timestamps, due dates, and notifications display accurately for your local region. You can update this setting in under a minute through your Atlassian account preferences.


Steps

  1. Click your profile icon located at the upper right side of your Jira dashboard.
  2. Select 'Manage account' from the dropdown menu.
  3. Go to the 'Account preferences' tab.
  4. Navigate to the 'Your time zone' section and click the drop-down menu.
  5. Select your preferred time zone from the available options.
  6. A confirmation notification pops up confirming that your timezone is being updated.

📌 Why this matters

Setting the correct timezone in Jira is essential for distributed and remote teams who rely on accurate timestamps for sprint planning, issue deadlines, and activity logs. When each team member's Jira account reflects their local timezone, scheduling conflicts and missed deadlines caused by time discrepancies are significantly reduced. Jira's account preferences make it straightforward to change your timezone in just a few clicks, keeping cross-functional collaboration aligned across regions. This simple configuration step helps ensure that every notification, comment, and due date is displayed in the time that is most relevant to you.
