The Sprint Lifecycle
Sprint Lifecycle
The Sprint Lifecycle refers to a limitless series of repetitive iterations used by Agile Scrum for software product or project development and management. It is a structured approach with the key elements of transparency, adaptability and continuous improvement.
The Sprint lifecycle is a continuous cycle with a start and end in a fixed duration. When one Sprint is completed with successful outcomes and deliverables in a predefined duration, the next Sprint will begin.
Sprint cycle contributes to the progress of a software product or project iteratively and incrementally delivering value in an agile and flexible way. Sprint lifecycle consists of key events like Sprint Planning, Implementation, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review and Sprint Retrospective.
What is Sprint and its importance in Agile Scrum
Sprint is a fixed-length iteration and an agile scrum event, during which a cross-functional scrum team works to complete a set amount of work. Generally, a sprint is time-boxed to 2 to 4 weeks duration. Sprint breaks down complex tasks in product or project development to shorter duration with a well-defined sprint goal, and it results in a potentially shippable Product Increment (PI).
