"Sprint" is such a wonderful example of how Agile can (and has often) been perverted (and in this case, inverted.) What is a sprint in RL? It's a race in which you only go a very short distance. As in: "Wanna run a few miles?", "Nah, let's just do a sprint and leave it at that." But stick-management willfully misinterprets Sprint as a very fast speed implying you should get an immense amount done in a short time by magical means. Which has led to the Agile guys backing off from the word, officially, I do believe. You won't find it in the Alliance Glossary, just "iteration": https://www.agilealliance.org/agile101/agile-glossary/ https://www.agilealliance.org/agile101/agile-glossary/ If overtime by software engineers were not exempted by law in many jurisdictions from being paid, I don't think this willful misinterpretation would happen so often.
