A Scrum Team works on a project in 2-week Sprints. During the Sprint Planning meeting of the third Sprint, the Product Owner says:
“I will be going on holiday in 2 weeks. Let’s change the duration of this Sprint to 4 weeks, so that I will be back when it ends.”

Should the duration of the sprint be increased?

  • A. Yes, because the Product Owner must be available at the end of a Sprint.
  • B. Yes, because Sprint duration can be anything between 2 and 4 weeks.
  • C. No, because the Sprint duration is not based on single events.
  • D. No, because only Development Team members may change Sprint duration.

Selected Answer: C
Sprint duration is meant to create a stable, predictable rhythm for the team and the organization. Think of it like the heartbeat of your development process. Just as your heart maintains a steady rhythm to keep your body functioning smoothly, consistent Sprint duration helps teams maintain a reliable delivery pace and establish sustainable working patterns. When teams frequently change Sprint duration to accommodate individual schedules or events, several problems emerge. First, it disrupts the team's velocity measurements and makes planning less reliable. Second, it can create confusion about when various Scrum events should occur. Most importantly, it undermines the fundamental concept of timeboxing in Scrum, which helps manage complexity and risk through regular inspection and adaptation points.
