"Sprints make projects more manageable, allow teams to ship high-quality work faster and more frequently, and gives them more flexibility to adapt to change."

Sprints are beneficial as they focus teams or individuals on specific work with an end goal in mind. They also allow for regular deliveries, enabling a feedback loop into the development process that results in a higher quality outcome.
