Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) — Question 165

A time-box is:

Answer options

• A. An event that starts at a specific time.
• B. An event with a minimum set time.
• C. An event that cannot take more than a maximum amount of time.
• D. An event that must happen by a specific time.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a time-box refers to an event or task that is restricted to a maximum duration to encourage focus and efficiency. Options A and D describe specific timing but do not address the concept of a maximum limit. Option B mentions a minimum duration, which is not relevant to the definition of a time-box.
