Sprint

A fixed, short-term work period (usually 1-2 weeks) in which a team commits to completing a defined set of tasks, a core practice in Agile development.

Sprints create focus, predictability, and rapid iteration cycles. Instead of building for months before releasing, teams ship something every sprint and get continuous feedback.

A startup team plans a two-week sprint to build the user onboarding flow, review it with 5 users, and implement feedback, all before the next sprint begins.
