Step 3: We would be using agile scrum methodology and teams would be working in sprints, Sprint is a short, time-boxed period when a scrum team works to complete a set amount of work. Sprints are at the very heart of scrum and agile methodologies, and getting sprints right will help the agile team ship better software
