What is the time-box for a Daily Scrum?

The time-box for a Daily Scrum is 15 minutes. This meeting is designed to be a short, focused event where the Scrum Team can synchronize their efforts and plan for the next 24 hours. The 15-minute duration helps ensure that the meeting remains concise and allows team members to quickly share updates on their progress, discuss any obstacles they're facing, and adjust their plans accordingly.

This brevity is crucial for maintaining the team's momentum and ensuring that the Daily Scrum does not become a lengthy status meeting, which could detract from the time available for development work. The goal is to foster communication and collaboration among team members efficiently, making the most of their time together.

Additionally, keeping the Daily Scrum to this specific time-box encourages punctuality and discipline within the team, reinforcing the importance of sticking to the agenda and providing an opportunity for everyone to participate actively without it becoming a long discussion.
