What is Sprint?
A sprint is a fixed time period (usually 1-4 weeks) in Agile development where a team works on a specific set of features or tasks.
Definition
In Agile development, a sprint is a time-boxed iteration where a team commits to completing a set of work items. Sprints typically last 1-4 weeks. Each sprint begins with planning (selecting what to work on), includes daily standups, and ends with a review (demo of completed work) and retrospective (team improvement discussion). The goal is to deliver potentially shippable software at the end of each sprint.
Key Points
- Fixed duration (typically 1-4 weeks)
- Team commits to specific deliverables
- Ends with demo and retrospective
- Goal is shippable software each sprint
- Scope is protected once sprint starts
Examples
- 1.2-week sprints for MVP development
- 2.1-week sprints for rapid iteration
- 3.Sprint planning to select priority features
