What is the time-box for the Sprint Planning meeting?

The time-box for the Sprint Planning meeting in Scrum is a maximum of 8 hours for a one-month Sprint. The Scrum Guide provides guidance on the time-box for Sprint Planning based on the length of the Sprint.

  1. One-Month Sprint:

    • For Sprints with a duration of one month or less, the time-box for Sprint Planning is a maximum of 8 hours.
  2. Shorter Sprints:

    • For Sprints that are shorter than one month, the time-box for Sprint Planning is proportionally shorter. For example, if the Sprint is two weeks, the time-box for Sprint Planning would be a maximum of 4 hours.

While the time-box provides a maximum limit, teams are encouraged to keep the meeting as short as needed to achieve its purpose. The focus is on efficient collaboration and planning to set the team up for a successful Sprint.
