The Agile software development process is

• A breakdown of project activities into linear sequential phases, where each phase depends on the deliverable of the previous one

• The approach where for every single phase in the development cycle, there is a directly associated testing phase

• The approach based on the unique risk patters of a given project where the model guides a team to adopt elements of one or more process models

• The approach of software development emphasizing incremental delivery, team collaboration, continual planning, and continual learning.

In the software development process a sprint is

• A list of set tasks that must be completed before the product is released
