Cadence

A steady, repeatable pace that organizes how a team plans, executes, and reviews work, typically using fixed-length timeboxes (such as sprints).

Key Points

  • Defines a predictable tempo for events, work cycles, and delivery checkpoints.
  • Often implemented through timeboxes like 1- to 4-week iterations (see also Timebox).
  • Supports forecasting and flow by reducing variability and context switching.
  • Should be sustainable and adjusted empirically based on team capacity and outcomes.

Example

An agile product team adopts a 2-week sprint cadence with a daily stand-up at 9:00 a.m., backlog refinement every Wednesday, a sprint review and retrospective on the last day of each sprint, and a release at the end of every second sprint.

PMP Example Question

A team decides to run 2-week sprints, hold daily stand-ups at the same time each day, and release on the last business day of each month. What are they primarily establishing?

  1. Cadence
  2. Critical path
  3. Timebox
  4. Velocity

Correct Answer: A — Cadence

Explanation: They are defining a recurring rhythm for planning, execution, and delivery. A timebox is a fixed-length container for work (e.g., the 2-week sprint), while cadence is the overall steady tempo across events.
