Why Chasing Time-Boxes Hurts Teams and Delays Value
Time-boxes might sound like a great way to manage work, but in reality, it creates more problems than it solves. Work often expands to fill the time-box, or worse, it’s too big to fit, leaving teams scrambling to make it look like they’re on track. This leads to stress, frustration, and gaming the numbers to make the metrics appear better than they actually are.
In this talk, we’ll unpack how chasing time-boxes derails teams and delays real value delivery. We’ll share practical examples and actionable ways to help you move beyond arbitrary time constraints and focus on what truly matters- creating systems that prioritize the flow of work, reduce overburdening of the team, and deliver meaningful results to the customer.
