Which of the following are true about the length of the Sprint? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The length of the Sprint should be proportional to the work that is done in between Sprints.
• B. It is best to have Sprints of consistent length throughout a development effort.
• C. Sprint length is determined during Sprint Planning, and should hold the time it will take to code the planned features in the upcoming Sprint, but does not include time for any testing.
• D. Sprint length is determined during Sprint Planning, and should be long enough to make sure the Development Team can deliver what is to be accomplished in the upcoming Sprint.
• E. All Sprints must be 1 month or less.

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

Option B is correct because maintaining a consistent Sprint length helps in establishing a predictable rhythm for the team. Option E is also correct as it adheres to the Scrum framework, which stipulates that Sprints must be one month or shorter. Options A, C, and D either misinterpret the guidelines for Sprint length or introduce unnecessary conditions that are not aligned with Scrum practices.
