What is the difference between a sprint and a release in agile project management?

In agile project management, a sprint is a short, time-boxed period during which a specific set of tasks or features are worked on by the team. A release, on the other hand, is when the completed work from one or more sprints is delivered to the customer or stakeholders. Sprints are part of the development process, while releases mark the completion and delivery of work to the end users.
