In the
ScrumProcess, the larger of two
InspectAndAdapt cycles are called Sprints. Sprints are 30-days* (
WhyThirtyDays) in length, and
must result in a potentially shippable increment of software. (Of course, when using Scrum on non-software projects this rule would become "must result in something of actual value".)

- * Current (2011) texts usually state either 2 or 4 week Sprints.
During the sprint, the
ScrumTeam is empowered to do whatever is needed to achieve the
SprintGoal.
For the daily
InspectAndAdapt cycle, see
DailyScrum.
ScrumMethodology uses 30-day iterations called 'sprints'.
Another use of the word sprint has sprung up in the Python/Zope community, see
PythonSprint.
Ham Radio Morse Code operators have 'sprints' where they make as many contacts as possible, at very high speeds.
