How is a 'Sprint' defined?

A 'Sprint' is defined as a short, time-boxed period in which the team works to complete a set amount of work as agreed upon by the Contractor and City. This concept originates from Agile project management methodologies, particularly Scrum, where a Sprint typically lasts anywhere from one to four weeks. The goal of a Sprint is to focus efforts on producing a specific deliverable or set of deliverables, allowing teams to maintain momentum and deliver results incrementally.

By segmenting the work into shorter, manageable periods, teams can reassess and adjust their priorities frequently, ensuring that they are aligned with the overall project goals and can respond to changes swiftly. This approach fosters improved collaboration and communication among team members and stakeholders, which is essential for successful project outcomes in dynamic environments like construction and housing projects.
