Done it before. Totally depends on client and PPD. No written rule that you can't do it .

I'm doing it this Friday, got explicit approval from SM/M had no issues whatsoever.

What C1 said. Nothing explicitly allows or forbids it, it's dependent on your project leadership. Honestly, one of the biggest complications is where you charge your Friday time to.

Apr 520 expressly states where you can alt travel. If US-based, Europe is not covered. Come on, team.

APR520 also mentions that if the flight is more than 5-6 hrs u can fly business. My client declined that and I had to fly coach. Things are not always as they are written .

D3 It does not explicitly excluded non-US travel. It merely provides appropriate guidance for US alt travel. Int'l is likely intentionally vague.

Hi everyone! I’d like to create a simple graphic of our HR operational calendar for my client group. A visually appealing infographic that outlines our annual talent cycles (talent planning, performance reviews, promotion nominations, merit, etc) so leadership always knows what’s coming and can better prepare and strategize. Any ideas on how I can best visually represent this? Any tools, programs or templates you recommend? Thanks!
