Design Sprints in Scrum: Common Questions and Practical Insights

TL;DR; There are no special Sprints in Scrum for design or other functions; all work needed to meet the Sprint Goal, including UX and design, should happen within the Sprint or during Refinement if it is for future preparation.

Development managers should focus on integrating design and architecture work into the regular Sprint flow rather than isolating it.
