# How long is the Sprint Review and can it be adjusted?

The [Sprint Review](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/sprint-review/) is generally timeboxed to four hours. However, for shorter Sprints, this [Timebox](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/timebox/) is usually shortened proportionally. This adjustment helps maintain the efficiency and relevance of the event, ensuring it is suitable for the length of the Sprint while still achieving its goals.

The timeboxing of the [Sprint Review](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/sprint-review/) is important because it ensures that the event is focused and does not overrun, taking up unnecessary time that could be used for other productive activities. Keeping it within a defined timeframe also helps the team stay disciplined and on point.
