Introduction

Timeboxes define consecutive timeframes used for work planning. It helps to think of them as, e.g., sprints, iterations, increments, or stages.

Info

You can only display sequential Box types using the Gantt module. The Boxes with sequentiality set as Overlapping will not be displayed. To change the sequentiality in the Box type configuration go to Business Administration > Box Types > General administration > Advanced (App Admin security role required).

You can create and edit Timeboxes using the Hierarchy and Timeline view modes of the Overview module.

Timeboxes are suitable for both agile and non-agile teams. Non-agile teams can simply rename simply rename Program Increments and Iterations to years, quarters, or months, and start planning their short- or long-term goals using the Board.
