Sprint Engine
v0.2.2 · by ThePath
Turn WordPress into a guided action platform for onboarding, member journeys, training, implementation and more.
About this plugin
Sprint Engine helps you build guided, step-by-step journeys in WordPress that move people from start to outcome. Create focused Sprints for onboarding, member journeys, training programmes, implementation processes, coaching, guided reviews, internal workflows and more.
A Sprint is a structured journey made up of ordered Steps that users work through one at a time. Content can explain, teach or prompt action, while saved progress and a distraction-free Runner help users stay focused on what comes next.
What you can build with Sprint Engine:
- Guided onboarding and customer success journeys
- Member journeys and engagement pathways
- Content journeys that turn information into action
- Implementation guides and programmes
- Coaching and development journeys
- Training experiences
- Assessments and guided reviews
- Internal processes and workflows
Unlike a traditional LMS, Sprint Engine isn’t built around courses, grades, quizzes or certificates. The focus is action: guiding someone through a practical process towards a clear outcome.
How Sprint Engine works
A Sprint contains:
- A Start screen that introduces the Sprint and explains what the user will achieve
- An ordered sequence of Steps
- Optional Content and Task Step modes
- Saved progress for logged-in users
- A distraction-free frontend Runner
- A Completion screen with an optional next-action button
Authors create Sprint and Step content using the normal WordPress block editor.
Steps are organised using the Sprint Structure Manager. The Runner then presents those Steps one at a time while keeping track of the user’s progress.

My Sprints member Dashboard
Visit /sprint-engine/dashboard/ while logged in, or find the link in Sprints Settings.
No WordPress Page is required. The Dashboard shows Sprints you can access in In Progress,
Available and Completed sections, using the same branding as Runner.
Start Sprint opens the Runner overview; Continue Sprint resumes saved progress.
Restart Sprint confirms before creating a new attempt and keeps previous attempts.
View Completed Sprint reopens the completion screen. Save & Exit returns here.
Viewing the Dashboard creates no progress and stores no additional personal data.
Privacy and Data
Sprint Engine stores progress against logged-in WordPress user IDs.
Progress records may include:
- Sprint ID
- Attempt ID and sequential attempt number
- Current Step ID
- Sprint status
- Step completion status
- Start time
- Last activity time
- Completion time
The member Dashboard derives its display from existing content and progress. It introduces no new stored personal data.
Sprint Engine also stores Sprint and Step configuration as WordPress content and metadata.
The core plugin does not require a third-party service to provide Sprint authoring, Runner or progress functionality.
Sprint Engine retains its content, settings and progress data when deactivated and when uninstalled in version 0.2.2.
Site owners are responsible for determining how their use of Sprint Engine relates to their own privacy policy, data-retention obligations and applicable laws.
