What's a code sprint?
According to Wikipedia definintion:
"A sprint is a time-boxed period of software development focused on a given list of goals (but with variable scope). [...]
Sprints are organized around the ideas of Extreme Programming discipline of software development. The sprint is directed by the coach, who suggests tasks, tracks their progress and makes sure that no one is stuck. Most of the development happens in pairs. A large open space is often chosen as a venue for efficient communication.[...]
A significant benefit of sprinting is that the project members meet in person, socialize, and start to communicate more effectively when working together remotely."
