What are sprints?

A sprint is a short, time-boxed period when a scrum team works to complete a set amount of work. Sprints are at the very heart of scrum and agile methodologies, and getting sprints right will help your agile team ship better software with fewer headaches.

Sprints are so well known (and so effective!) that they’re often seen as the first step on the path toward greater agility. As we’ve learned, mastering sprints require a mastery of a handful of scrum and agile concepts that build upon each other.

How to plan and execute scrum sprints?

In order to plan your upcoming sprint, you use the sprint planning meeting! Sprint planning is a collaborative event where the team answers two basic questions: What work can get done in this sprint and how will the chosen work get done?
