Sprint

A Sprint is a timebox. In history, from sunrise till sunset, the wars happened as a timebox. During those ancient times, two groups fight each other from dawn till dusk. They will then take a break to reflect on the progress made and also on how they waged war.

A Sprint is something like that when you are building solutions to complex problems. Sprints are short safe-to-fail experiments to uncover problem/solution fit iteratively. The Goal of the Sprint is to create a Product Increment that will help the product teams understand that they are building the right product.

Automating everything up front helps in saving time for other types of testing like exploratory testing and non-functional testing. BDD helps you eliminating more documents related to testing, even test cases. Specification by example is also called as living documentation because the examples and automation code are glued together.

If the team does not have a clear understanding of the goal, then it is not possible to get their buy-in. If the goal is raw, it needs to be refined to come to a clear understanding.  Advanced Certified Scrum Master   The team then chooses/selects the product backlog items for the Sprint based on the goal. The Sprint goal helps the team in understanding the need for building the product increment. The sprint goal should be crisp, clear, and understandable.  Unclear goals can do more harm than benefits.
