Every agile developer knows the the sprint as the time period in SCRUM. The idea to have short iterations is good and right. But there is something wrong with the Spring and thats ... the name.
If you compare software development with sport, I know the stereotype of unathlethic developers, then it should be clear that you have to a relaxation time after an sprint. Usain Bolt can't run 10 mile in the speed of 100m . But as software developer you have no relation time. Software development is not like a sprint - software development is more like running a marathon. You can't work with highest possible speed, if you try it more then once you will wear your development team. Keep this in mind and don't call it SCRUM Sprint, call it SCRUM Mile.
