Agile vs. Sprint

Agile started as a lightweight development method compared to heavyweight software development, which is the core paradigm of the previous decades of software development. A design sprint is a five-day process where a critical business question needs to be addressed via product development or prototyping. Therefore, a design sprint might be part of a wider application of the agile methodology.

Agile started as a lightweight development method compared to heavyweight software development, which is the core paradigm of the previous decades of software development. By 2001 the Manifesto for Agile Software Development was born as a set of principles that defined the new paradigm for software development as a continuous iteration. This would also influence the way of doing business.
