Scrum Events & Timeboxes Cheat Sheet
Events, purposes, and a quick memory framework for timeboxes.
Event + timebox (for a 1-month Sprint)
Exams often ask about purpose, not just time limits. Learn what each event is meant to accomplish.
- Sprint: 1 month or less
- Sprint Planning: timeboxed to 8 hours for a 1-month sprint
- Daily Scrum: 15 minutes
- Sprint Review: timeboxed to 4 hours for a 1-month sprint
- Sprint Retrospective: timeboxed to 3 hours for a 1-month sprint
Purpose in one line
If you can explain the purpose, the correct answer becomes obvious even when timeboxes are not mentioned.
- Sprint Planning: define Sprint Goal and a plan to achieve it
- Daily Scrum: inspect progress toward Sprint Goal and adapt the plan
- Sprint Review: inspect the Increment with stakeholders and adapt the Product Backlog
- Sprint Retrospective: plan improvements for the next Sprint
Common Scrum Master pitfalls
These are classic exam traps. Watch for questions that test intent versus ritual.
- Treating the Daily Scrum as a status report to managers
- Using the Review as a demo-only meeting
- Skipping Retrospectives under pressure
- Stretching timeboxes instead of improving focus
