What is a Sprint?

A sprint is a short period of software development. Sprints have become popular events among open source projects. They are often held near conferences, where most of the project's team and enthusiasts attend.

Sprint is directed by a coach(es), who suggests tasks, tracks the progress and makes sure that none of the developers encounter insurmountable difficulties. Often the development happens in pairs or small teams. During sprints, people new to the project are welcomed and get an intensive hands-on introduction pairing with an experienced project member. A large open space is often chosen as a venue for efficient communication.

  • Will be guided by Prof. William Stein, the lead of SAGE project.
