Explanation
A time-box defines a maximum duration for an event - the event must end by that time, but may end earlier if the goal is achieved. For example, a Sprint Review is time-boxed to 4 hours for a one-month Sprint, meaning it cannot exceed 4 hours. Time-boxes do not mandate a minimum duration or a fixed start time. This constraint encourages focus, limits waste, and ensures predictability in the Scrum cadence.
