A sprint is a time-boxed iteration, most commonly used in Scrum, during which a team commits to a selected set of backlog items and aims to finish them to a usable standard.
Why it matters
Fixed short cycles give teams a regular rhythm to plan, deliver, review and adapt. Stakeholders see working progress every few weeks, and problems surface early because work is small and the next sprint is never far away. Most teams keep the sprint length the same from one sprint to the next so that velocity and planning become predictable over time.
Example
A team chooses a two-week sprint. On day one they pick 8 backlog items they can finish, hold a short daily stand-up, demo completed work on the last Thursday and run a retrospective on what to improve next time.
Common mistakes
- Changing the sprint scope midway so the goal is lost.
- Counting unfinished work as done, which hides real progress.
- Skipping the retrospective, so the same problems repeat.
