What is Timebox?
Timebox is a fixed period allocated for completing a specific task or phase of development, used to manage time and resources effectively. In Agile development, timeboxing helps teams stay focused, limit scope creep, and ensure that work is delivered on schedule.
Common uses of timeboxing include:
- Sprints: Setting a fixed duration for completing a set of tasks.
- Meetings: Limiting the length of meetings to keep discussions on track.
- Tasks: Allocating a specific amount of time to work on a particular task before moving on.
Timeboxing promotes discipline and efficiency, helping teams prioritize work and maintain momentum.
