A Sprint is a set period of time during which specific work must be completed and made ready for review in the Agile framework, particularly in Scrum. Sprints are typically short, lasting between one to four weeks, and are designed to deliver a usable and potentially shippable product increment by the end of each cycle. The objective of a Sprint is to provide a consistent and repeatable work cadence that allows teams to focus on delivering small, incremental improvements to the product.
During a Sprint, the team works collaboratively on predefined tasks from the product backlog, which have been selected and prioritized during the Sprint Planning meeting. The goal is to achieve the Sprint's objectives, which align with the overall project goals. Throughout the Sprint, daily stand-up meetings are held to ensure coordination and address any impediments. At the end of the Sprint, a Sprint Review and Sprint Retrospective are conducted to evaluate the work done, gather feedback, and identify areas for improvement. This iterative approach helps teams to adapt to changes, continuously improve their processes, and deliver high-quality products efficiently.
