Agile Sprint
A sprint is a fixed period of work, usually one to three weeks, at the end of which an agile team delivers a potentially shippable product increment. It opens with planning, runs with short check-ins (the "daily"), and closes with a demo and a retrospective.
Splitting work into sprints gives regular visibility into real progress, which matters a lot for a client or investor following a project over several months. On a SaaS project, a team might dedicate a two-week sprint to rebuilding the billing system, with an end-of-sprint demo to validate behavior with the product owner before moving on. This lets priorities get adjusted sprint by sprint instead of discovering a misalignment after months of work.
A common trap is overloading a sprint by agreeing to add tasks midway through, which breaks the team's commitment and skews future estimates. A better practice is to protect the sprint's scope once it starts, and push any urgent request into the backlog for the next one. It's also worth avoiding turning the sprint into a purely calendar-based split with no real demo or retrospective, which strips out most of its value.
