> Are sprints bullshit? Maybe some of them. But for teams to be effective, you need communication, knowledge sharing and some form of tracking progress.

It's Pythonic levels of hilarity that we adopted this word to describe software development. It's Shakepearean in the tragedy that so many defend it.

Choose another word, like, "jog", "amble" or similar, and you won't see the same level of backlash against it.
