What is timeboxing?

Timeboxing is a time management technique where a fixed, predetermined period of time (time box) is allocated for completing a task or a stage of work. After this time expires, work stops regardless of whether the task is completed or not.

In Scrum, timeboxing is used for time constraints on sprints, planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives. It helps maintain a rhythm of work, increase focus, and avoid prolonging processes.

Example: if a sprint is allocated 2 weeks, the team must complete the planned tasks within this period without extending the deadline.
