5 Ways Agile Sprints Can Help Your Team
A popular feature of agile project management is the sprint, a five-day process that helps teams focus on and execute one big goal. You move from idea to prototype to customer research in a short span of time. The idea is to fast-forward a project so you can see what the end result might look like and how the market will react. But it’s not just about speed; it’s also about momentum, focus, and confidence. The companies who use sprints (in oncology, robotics, coffee, and other fields) see five consistent benefits from the process:
- Sprints help you start.
- Sprints move you from abstract to concrete.
- Sprints keep you focused on what’s important.
- Sprints force crisp decision making.
- Sprints encourage fast follow-up.
If you’re trying to tackle a big opportunity, problem, or idea, sprints can help your team get it done.
