Timebox

A fixed time limit reserved for work, such as 1 week, 1 fortnight, 3 weeks, or 1 month, typically used to bound an iteration or activity.

Key Points

  • The duration is set upfront and does not extend; the scope adapts to fit the time.
  • Creates a predictable cadence for planning, tracking, and reviewing progress.
  • Commonly applied to iterations, spikes, workshops, and meetings.
  • Focuses teams on delivering the most valuable work within the limit.

Example

A Scrum team sets a 2-week timebox to build a login feature. When the two weeks end, the team stops development, demos what is done, and moves any unfinished items back to the backlog for future prioritization.
