What is a sprint?
Interviewers use questions like these to separate viable candidates from those not educated on basic agile development terms and practices. Product development teams follow intense, specific, and repeatable workflows, and many companies expect the product owners they hire to be well-versed in this area.
Remember to communicate that sprints are short and time-boxed, or fixed in length. Demonstrate that you understand the goal of a sprint is to create fully developed and tested product increments that are potentially releasable to the end users of the product.
"Sprints represent iterations in agile product development. They are short, time-boxed team initiatives in which a certain portion of a product is analyzed, designed, developed, tested, and potentially released."
