In today's world, teams and companies often face big challenges that cannot be solved without a practical approach. One such approach is Sprint, an innovative technique that helps solve big problems. This solution is divided into five days, from Monday to Friday. Such method of overcoming challenges is used by many prominent companies. It is especially effective for those who want to implement a project or improve their business.

Before proceeding to use this method, you need to choose a challenge, as well as the right command that will work with it. The team is key to success. Just as in the movie Ocean's Eleven, the bandit team has different roles that help them carry out their plans. In projects, you also have to allocate roles so that the work goes as smoothly as possible.

The main role in the team is the Decider. It is the person who ultimately makes all the decisions and is the most responsible for the entire team's work results. Also, the team should consist of people from different fields to realize a goal with ease. For example, if you want to develop a new website for your company, make sure that your team includes experts in design, marketing, and customers.

Besides, an essential part of the process is proper time management – the point that allows you to set and implement all goals in five days. For this, you need to have a timer that will record the time of teamwork. Let's learn more about how to implement a Sprint strategy!
