DefinitionA Sprint (スプリント) is one round of repeated development in Scrum, a short period of fixed length.

ExplanationUnder the 2020 Scrum Guide, a Sprint lasts one month or less and keeps the same length every time. At the start, Sprint Planning settles what to work on, and during the period a short Daily Scrum each day checks progress. At the end, the Sprint Review inspects the result with stakeholders, and the Sprint Retrospective looks back on how the team worked.

Memory hookLike a sprint in track and field, picture running many short stretches you can finish at full speed, one after another.
