Sprint: El método para resolver problemas y testar nuevas ideas en solo 5 días

I'm curious about the origins of this methodology—was it based on existing practices or entirely new ideas? How did the authors settle on five days as the optimal time frame?

The clear phases made it easy to follow, but I wonder if some teams might find it too prescriptive or limiting for their unique challenges.

Most examples seem tech-heavy, but I’m interested in whether this sprint methodology adapts well to different industries or organizational sizes.
