We work in 2-week sprints with agile methodologies.
Previously, we named our sprints using a coded format like S21.13, where:
S = Sprint
21 = the year 2021
13 = the week number
So, S21.13 referred to a sprint covering weeks 13 and 14 of 2021. Releases would typically go out on the Wednesday of the following week (in this case, week 15).
Now, we name each release by the date it's released, which is always a Wednesday. For example:
June 25, 2025
July 9, 2025
July 23, 2025
This makes it clearer when the release went live and removes the need to decode sprint numbers.
We send out release notes every second Wednesday internally and soon through Intercom.
Here's a summary of all activities part of our release cycle:
