Sprint (Scrum Element)

Definition

A Sprint is a pre-defined period of time – usually two- or four- weeks, in which a specific set of items is completed. This set of items is included in the Sprint Backlog.

You can think of the Sprint as a “container” of sorts that includes all of the work done within that time period. It includes meetings like the daily Scrum and standup, which we’ll discuss next, as well as any work that is done within that time period. 

Additionally, every Sprint begins with the Sprint Planning Session and ends with the Retrospective, at which point a new Sprint begins.
