What is the purpose of the Sprint in Scrum?

Short answer: A Sprint is a fixed-length (usually 1–4 weeks) timebox where a usable and potentially shippable product increment is developed.

Explain a bit more

The Sprint fosters focus, regular delivery, and continuous improvement. Example: A digital agency might run 2-week Sprints to deliver iterative updates to a client’s website. After each Sprint, the client gets a working piece — such as a new landing page — and provides feedback that shapes the next Sprint.

Real-world example (ShopNest)

ShopNest team runs 2-week sprints. Daily standup is blockers-only, not a status novel.
