How do you prioritize tasks in a tight sprint?

In tight sprints, I focus on business-critical items first—features that directly impact user

experience or revenue. I work with the Product Owner to re-evaluate what’s must-have vs.

nice-to-have. For example, in one sprint, we postponed UI polish and non-blocking

validations to future iterations so we could release core functionality on time. I also ensure

tasks are clearly scoped so there’s no time lost in ambiguity.
