A **Sprint** is a set period, usually between one and four weeks, during which specific tasks and features are completed in Agile development. Each sprint is designed to produce a potentially shippable increment of the product, with a focus on delivering value quickly and iteratively.

The sprint cycle involves:

1. **Sprint Planning**: Defining the sprint goals and selecting tasks from the product backlog.

3. **Daily Stand-ups**: Short meetings to track progress and address any blockers.

5. **Sprint Review**: Demonstrating completed work to stakeholders.

7. **Sprint Retrospective**: Discussing what went well and what can be improved for the next sprint.

Sprints enable teams to maintain a steady pace of development, adjust to feedback, and continuously improve their processes and product quality.
