Timebox

A fixed, maximum period of time for an activity or event.

Definition

Timeboxing limits waste, creates focus, and forces decisions. Scrum events and DSDM increments are timeboxed.

Example

The retrospective ends after 90 minutes regardless of remaining topics.

Exam tip

A timebox is a maximum; events can end early once their purpose is achieved.
