Sprint Name Generator
This sprint name generator creates random ideas for an Agile development team to name a sprint or software release. Using these names can be helpful for internal communication when discussing and group features that are making it into a release.
Generate ten names by clicking on the generate button, then click the stars to save your favorites. You may want to save several options and have your team vote on their favorite, or queue some names up for future sprints.

Tips for Picking a Great Name
When picking a sprint name it’s helpful to make sure the name is memorable and easy to type and say. You can determine how formal sounding it should be based on your company culture. A mountain name will sound more business-like, while a cartoon character name might better suit a more laidback culture.
Keep in mind that these names aren’t the best for tracking long term (a version number is better suited for that), but it’s much easier to discuss these fun sprint names amonst a team.
Most of the ideas in the sprint name generator come from names or words in specific topic areas. At my old company we’d select a name and then let one of the designers create a graphic to represent it.
Here are some sprint name examples. You can also use these to come up with your own topics.
