In some Agile methodologies such as Agile Scrum and CNM Agile, Sprint Zero is the name of a special project undertaken to plan a bigger project, which consists of several iterations called Sprints.
In Scrum's definitions, every Sprint is an attempt to produce a potentially-shippable product increment, no matter how small. Every Sprint contains a combination of analysis, design, infrastructure, development, testing, and integration. Therefore, the common dysfunction called "Sprint Zero" is actually a contradiction in terms. Companies (and misinformed consultants and trainers) use this as a way to avoid changing waterfall habits.
