What is the time-box for the Sprint Review in a monthly Sprint?

In Scrum, the Sprint Review is a critical event that occurs at the end of a Sprint to inspect the increment and adapt the Product Backlog if needed. For a monthly Sprint, the time-box for the Sprint Review is set at a maximum of four hours.

This duration is designed to allow sufficient time for the Scrum Team and stakeholders to engage meaningfully, review what was accomplished, demonstrate the product increment, and discuss any necessary adjustments to the Product Backlog. The four-hour time-box ensures that the review is thorough yet efficient, promoting focused discussions while respecting everyone's time.

The specification of four hours aligns with Scrum’s principles of maintaining a sustainable pace and keeping events concise and effective. This time constraint helps participants to prepare adequately and keeps the reviews purposeful and engaged, which is essential for fostering collaboration and stakeholder feedback.
