Sprints

Sprints are time-boxed iterations that help teams work in focused, manageable cycles.

What is a Sprint?

A sprint is a fixed period (typically 1-4 weeks) during which specific work must be completed. Sprints help teams:

  • Focus on a defined set of tasks
  • Deliver incremental value regularly
  • Review and adapt their process
