Sprint Flashcards
Sprint
A sprint is a timeboxed iteration in Agile development, typically lasting 1 to 4 weeks, during which a cross-functional team works on a set of prioritized tasks from the product backlog. The goal of a sprint is to deliver a usable and potentially shippable increment of the product by the end of the iteration.
Each sprint starts with a Sprint Planning meeting to define the sprint goal and decide which tasks or user stories will be completed. Throughout the sprint, the team meets daily in Daily Standups to discuss progress, challenges, and next steps. The sprint ends with a Sprint Review, where the team demonstrates the completed work to stakeholders, and a Sprint Retrospective, where the team reflects on what went well and what can be improved for future sprints.
Sprints provide a structured way to ensure continuous delivery of value, promote adaptability to changing priorities, and maintain a consistent pace for the team.
A sprint is a short, time-boxed period and iterative release cycles when a scrum team works to complete a set amount of work. Sprints make projects more manageable, allow teams to ship high quality work faster and more frequently and gives them more flexibility to adapt to change.A sprint typically last two to four weeks, although the duration can vary based on the team’s preferences and the nature of the project.
Time boxing in scrum is basically allotting a fixed unit of time for an activity incorporating a time-boxed approach brings in discipline predictability and creates a situation for inspect and adapt. every event in scrum is time boxed and cannot be extended unless absolutely necessary.
