Sprint

You can use a sprint to group validated spec work into a bounded delivery slice. In Pulse, the sprint is the bridge between a spec and the cards an implementation agent will pick up.

What is a sprint

A sprint contains cards, assignment context, coverage settings, qualitative evaluation, and lifecycle status. It does not replace a spec; it selects a portion of spec work and makes it executable.

States

Sprint evaluation gate

Sprint evaluation is a retrospective checkpoint, not the same as spec validation or task validation. It captures delivery quality, coverage, and lessons before closeout.

Suggesting sprints from a spec

okto_pulse_suggest_sprints groups spec work into sprint-sized chunks. Use it after the spec is mature enough that cards can be estimated and grouped.

Assigning cards to a sprint

Cards can be assigned to a sprint after the sprint is created. Keep a sprint focused: a broad catch-all sprint makes validation and status reporting harder.
