Sprint overview

A Sprint is a timebox of 30 sequental calendar days during which a team works to turn the Selected Product Backlog into an increment of potentially shippable product.

When the tasks and required time has been determined, the Product Owner lets go. Fron now on, the Scrum Team works under its own responsibility. If the group has been properly composed, the work will be self-organizing.
