The Sprint
MEASUREMENT UNIT FOR THE PROJECT
The measurement unit of our projects is the Sprint, a limited (time-boxed) period during which a potentially usable and releasable product increment is created.
Each sprint has a duration of one month, a fixed cost and a goal to be reached: the Sprint Goal. At the beginning there’s always a discovery phase to analyse in detail the functionalities, to be dealt with during the subsequent delivery phase in which the actual development takes place. Once a Sprint has been completed, if others are needed, the process is repeated until all the product requirements have been implemented.
