    • Review sprint goals and user stories
    • Break down tasks and estimate effort
    • Assign responsibilities

  2. Development (Days 2-8)

    • TDD approach: write tests first
    • Implement features incrementally
    • Daily standups for progress tracking

  3. Testing & QA (Days 9-12)

    • Run full test suite
    • Manual QA testing
    • Bug fixes and refinements

  4. Sprint Review (Day 13)

    • Demo working features to stakeholders
    • Gather feedback

  5. Sprint Retrospective (Day 14)

    • Reflect on sprint
    • Identify improvements
    • Prepare for next sprint
