Timebox: AWT/CGP Execution

Timeboxing is an outer time and convergence envelope around authorized work. It does not add scope or replace the task's acceptance criteria.

AWT is the primary Available Work Time. Plan substantive work, verification, organization, and delivery inside it. CGP is a shorter Closeout Grace Period for an already-converged deliverable, an unexpectedly delayed final check, narrow closeout organization, or communicating the result. CGP is never a second work window.

Activate only with authority

Use this protocol only when one of these conditions supplies authority:

• The requester explicitly asks for timeboxing.
• The requester supplies an AWT/CGP pair or names AWT or CGP.
• An applicable project policy requires the protocol.
