Sprint
What Is a Sprint?
A Sprint is a fixed-length event in Scrum during which a team works toward a defined Sprint Goal and produces a usable increment of product work.
Why Sprints Matter
Sprints help teams:
- create a predictable delivery rhythm,
- focus on a clear short-term objective,
- review progress regularly,
- improve continuously through retrospection.
How Sprints Work
Sprints usually run for a consistent length, often one to four weeks. During the sprint, the team plans work, collaborates to achieve the goal, reviews the outcome, and reflects on how to improve the next cycle.
A sprint is not just a deadline. It is a structured feedback loop inside Scrum.
