Agile Timer for Scrum and Kanban Teams

Use this agile timer to enforce clear timeboxes across ceremonies. It helps teams stay outcome-focused during standups, planning, review, and retrospective meetings.

Agile timeboxing basics

  • Set a visible timer before each agenda segment starts.
  • Assign a facilitator to keep flow and close segments on time.
  • Capture parking-lot topics instead of extending the meeting.

Common scrum ceremony windows

  • Daily Scrum: 15 minutes.
  • Sprint Review: 30-60 minutes for small teams.
  • Retrospective activities: 5-15 minute rounds.
