It reduces the effort of fine-grained estimation for large volumes. | When a sprint is over and friction shouldn't simply be carried forward, it opens the view onto collaboration and patterns. It creates space to see causes and changes together. |

Timedifferent | 30-90 min | Up to 3 hours for a one-month Sprint; shorter Sprints are usually shorter |
