Building One Room at a Time: The Agile (Scrum) and Sprint ProcessIn the MYTEK Agile software design process, two-week development increments called Sprints take smaller bites from any overall picture in order to enhance the speed and focus to the client and developer. Every Sprint contains some combination of analysis, storyboarding, design, coding, testing, and actual implementation.


Framing the Structure of SprintsThe Sprint process enables the client to review and sign off on a working component that they can see and touch in a short time period. It is the responsibility of the client/product stakeholder(s) to determine what work the team will do while the software development team retains the autonomy to decide how the work gets done.
