Summary

John Cuttlefish proposes a one-day sprint to teams failing at their sprints saying that he tried it with the single-batch flow after a chat on long sprints with a friend and the results were successful. Through the chat, the friend suggests shortening a sprint down to a day if necessary could be a solution. He further details how it can be done as John asks questions noting that the process only entails, showing up for the sprint, having the conversation, collaborating on what to deliver together with the team, and reviewing the work by the end of the day. Open the article to get a deeper insight into what is a one-day sprint and how it can be implemented.

  • One-day sprints could be a good solution for teams failing at their sprints as people are finding value in them and witnessing great success.
