📌 Term & Title
Title: Squad & Sprint - The Agile Duo of Structure and Speed
Term: "Squad" and "Sprint" (in Agile methodology)
🧩 Definition
Description: Squad – In Agile, a "Squad" is like your core team for a mission. A small, cross-functional group that combines designers, developers, and other key roles to tackle specific features or areas of a project. They’re like superheroes assigned to one part of the city: always there to fix, improve, and deliver with ongoing focus.
Sprint – A "Sprint" is Agile’s ticking clock. It’s a set period (usually 1 to 4 weeks) where the team races to complete a chunk of work, delivering a ready-for-review product increment by the end. It’s about achieving short-term goals, planned out in a sprint planning meeting, and reviewed as soon as the clock stops.
In essence, squads focus on who does the work, while sprints organize when and how quickly the work gets done. They’re both Agile staples, enabling teams to structure, execute, and iterate with purpose.
