This document discusses the Pomodoro technique, an agile time management method where work is broken into intervals of 25 minutes separated by short breaks. It is presented as being helpful for focus, reducing interruptions, and keeping a sustainable pace. The core involves 30 minute cycles of 25 minutes of focus followed by 5 minutes of break, with longer breaks every few cycles. Tracking tasks and time helps visualize and improve the process. The technique is compatible with agile frameworks like Scrum. Examples are given of using physical and digital timers, as well as team implementations with shared timing and breaks.
