Working in Sprints. One way to establish a better rhythm at the team level is to work in sprints. Rather than basing your rhythm on the project’s time line or complexity, consider running every project as a series of one- or two-week sprints. Think of a sprint as a unit of time during which you must produce and share a unit of work—a self-imposed deadline. While this might seem arbitrary, sprints enforce a lot of good habits that seldom emerge without a rapid cadence. For starters, they force teams to get going.
