Timeboxing allows you to give more context to a task by showing how much time (and therefore money) you are willing to spend. This typically applies to:

  • "Nice to Haves" - If it takes too long, don't worry about it
  • Risky tasks - I'm not sure this will even work, if you can't figure it out, don't worry about it
  • Unknowns - This could take 2 minutes or 2 days. If it takes too long don't worry about it

Time box: 1 hour.

✅ Figure: Good Example. A timeboxing of one hour. Assignee should not spend more than the time allocated on this task
