Why short sprints?
Why timeboxes create fast feedback, smaller risk and protected focus.
Transcript
A sprint is a fixed timebox of one month or less.
Each sprint ends with a usable increment of the product.
Short cycles bring feedback in weeks, not months.
Small batches mean smaller mistakes and less risk.
During a sprint the goal stays fixed, so the team can focus without constant change.
New ideas are not lost. They wait in the backlog for a later sprint.
Short cycles. Fast learning.
