Sprint
Definition
A Sprint is a short, time-boxed period (typically one to four weeks) during which a team works to complete a specific set of tasks or deliverables. Sprints are a core component of Agile and Scrum methodologies. At the start of each sprint, the team agrees on what they will deliver by the end of the sprint. At the end of the sprint, the team reviews what was accomplished and plans the next sprint. Sprints help teams maintain focus, manage workload, and deliver value incrementally.
Contextual Usage
The creative operations manager introduces the sprint methodology to the team: "We're going to start working in two-week sprints. At the start of each sprint, we'll have a planning meeting to agree on what we can realistically deliver in the next two weeks. At the end of each sprint, we'll have a review meeting to look at what we've produced and a retrospective to discuss how we can improve our process."
