Sprint

T-Mobile absorbed it

Sprint is to run at top speed over a short distance—a burst of maximum effort that can't be sustained long.

Races of 100 or 200 meters are sprints.

The word extends to any brief, intense push: We sprinted to finish the project before deadline.

A sprint in agile software development is a short work cycle, typically one to four weeks.
