Timebox
A corporate euphemism for "setting a deadline" that makes basic time management sound like an agile methodology, usually used when meetings are running too long and people want to leave.
Examples
Examples:
- "Let's timebox this discussion." (let's set a deadline so we can stop talking)
- "Timeboxing will keep us focused." (deadlines will force us to pretend to care)
- "We need to timebox everything." (we need deadlines for everything because we're terrible at time management)
