Visual Studio 6.0. If you're writing a scheduling application, you may need to round a time to a specified number of minutes. For example, you may need to find the nearest 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-, or 30-minute interval.The solution isn't trivial, and the code shown in Listing 2.17 takes care of this problem.To call dhRoundTime(), pass it a date/time value and an interval to round to. (You must use any divisor of 60, but you'll most likely use 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, or 60.) For example:he solution isn't trivial, and the code shown in Listing 2.17 takes care of this problem.

A hardening sprint is an additional sprint that some Scrum teams run at the completion of all the regular sprints. They are planned for developing functionality based on the product backlog.
In Scrum, the length of the Sprint Planning Meeting is determined by the length of the Sprint. For example, a one week long Sprint has a Sprint Planning Meeting that is timeboxed to two hours. It is acceptable for the meeting to take less time, but not more. A two week long Sprint has a Sprint Planning Meeting that is timeboxed to four hours. Keeping the Sprint Planning Meeting timeboxed has two beneficial effects: one, the team keeps the overhead dedicated to meetings to a relatively low level, and two, the team learns to do effective planning in a very short period of time.
