  • These time zones were grouped into 11 buckets, ranging from UTC-8 to UTC+10.
  • The regions belonging to each bucket were also listed.

Data Visualization

  • The client should get a worldwide view of training distribution across time zones.
  • Region information and training numbers should fit in a single view.
  • The geographical location of each time zone should also be conveyed; dominant languages in these time zones should be displayed as well.
