    Sure, it might seem like a sprint compared to a Waterfall project where it’s a marathon, where there might be months between points where you check in with the plan and try to figure out if the software is ready to ship yet.

    I still just object to the word “sprint”. Any job where you’re sprinting over and over, week after week, where that’s the main thing you’re doing, you’re doing something wrong.

      Yea it’s why I use the word cycle. In a meeting and the PM says “can we bring this in next sprint?” I reply “not sure about the next cycle, but after that one for sure.”. So far I’ve been subtly nudging multiple people to shift away from using the word sprint
