If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Kaech'ŏl-li day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 00:00–08:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
The zone identifier Asia/Pyongyang is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Pyongyang keeps pointing at Pyongyang time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
