Which Scrum events are timeboxed?

 In the Scrum framework, several events are timeboxed. The timeboxed events in Scrum are:

1. Sprint Planning:

   • Timebox: 8 hours maximum for a one-month Sprint.
   • Purpose: To define what can be delivered in the upcoming Sprint and how the work will be achieved.

2. Daily Scrum:

   • Timebox: 15 minutes.
   • Purpose: To inspect progress towards the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog as necessary.

3. Sprint Review:

   • Timebox: 4 hours maximum for a one-month Sprint.
   • Purpose: To inspect the increment and adapt the Product Backlog. Stakeholders provide feedback, and the team discusses what was done in the Sprint.

4. Sprint Retrospective:

   • Timebox: 3 hours maximum for a one-month Sprint.
   • Purpose: To inspect the last Sprint and create a plan for improvements to be enacted in the next Sprint.

These timeboxed events provide a framework for the Scrum Team to collaborate, inspect, and adapt within a fixed timeframe. The durations are guidelines set by the Scrum Guide, and teams may adjust them based on their specific needs, provided that the purpose and objectives of the events are still achieved. The timeboxing ensures that these events are focused, efficient, and contribute to the iterative and incremental development process central to the Scrum framework.
