      <description><![CDATA[A 6–8 week sprint is not a compressed version of a 6-month project. It is a different kind of engagement with a different objective: a production-grade foundation that can ship to the App Store, extend without structural rewrites, and hand off without a lengthy orientation session. This article covers what that sprint actually delivers, how scope decisions get made, and which architectural choices are non-negotiable.]]></description>
