End of a Sprint, Beginning of a Journey – Web Comic
All sprints come to an end. After a set period of time, the sprint will come to a close and the team will review the work done in the sprint, and then reflect on the things that went right and the things that went wrong in the sprint. A new sprint begins as soon as the current sprint ends. Every sprint should be able to produce something immediately usable.

In Scrum, it's important that developers communicate when they are working on stories. (Stories are the fully-broken down chunks of work that are put into the Sprint Backlog.)
