Over the past 10 or so years, the pace of software and product development has increased. There’s a few reasons for this. One is the popularity of the web and mobile platforms. As more applications have migrated to the web browser and mobile applications, teams were able to leave their legacy desktop code behind. Also, since the web and mobile have their own built-in distribution channels, it was no longer necessary to box up your software product and sell it in a store.

Another factor influencing the pace of software and product development is the increased popularity of development processes like Agile, Scrum, Lean, and Extreme programming.

While these different processes differ slightly in their details, the common thread is that they all focus on the development of working software or pieces of software, breaking down software construction into manageable chunks, developing features iteratively, and focusing on continuous, or at least short episodic delivery timeframes such as weekly or every two weeks. This practice of delivering weekly or biweekly is generically known as a “sprint”.
