Sprint Goal
While the Project Vision communicates the overall purpose and spirit of the project,
it is also helpful to have a vision for each Sprint that encapsulates all the tasks
into a "Goal". So for example, rather than Sprint 6 just being another Sprint where
we build more stuff, it becomes the "Customer Payment Sprint".
A Sprint goal might be along the lines of:
"This Sprint we will allow users to log-in to the site, retrieve a forgotten password, and manage their own profile".
The Sprint Goal will be agreed in the Sprint Planning meeting at the beginning of the Sprint.
