When does the second Sprint commence?

The second Sprint commences immediately after the first Sprint. This continuous flow is an essential aspect of the Scrum framework, which emphasizes iterative development processes. In Scrum, Sprints are time-boxed and designed to proceed without interruption after one completes; thus, the next Sprint begins the moment the current one ends.

This structure allows teams to focus on delivering incremental improvements and adapting quickly to changes or feedback without delays. It also underscores the importance of maintaining momentum and ensures that the cadence of work remains consistent. Scrum teams are encouraged to prioritize work efficiently and to use any reflections or learnings gained during the Sprint Review and Sprint Retrospective to inform the planning of the next Sprint, but the timeframes themselves remain tightly bound within the iterative framework.
