I hate the word to begin with. Sprint. I do not want to rush through the work and squeeze into arbitrary time period but do it properly in the timeframe necessary (and not more). The hastle and rush atmosphere surrounding this word is repelling to me. As well as the 'stand-up'. Are we on exam in the school or what? Not being adult coworkers but people in entertainment or support group to present to each other? In other hand a flexible communication and progress tracking system - especially in a fairly unpredictible business like making a novelty product - is essential in teamwork and I know no better than something like this. But this childish naming makes me suspicious about the intention and goal of those coined it...
