If project requirements are generally stable and major changes are not expected in the near future, the Length

of a Sprint may be set to be longer, 4 to 6 weeks. This provides stability to the Scrum Team members to work

on the Prioritized Product Backlog requirements for lengthy periods of time without having to go through the

Create User Stories, Approve, Estimate and Commit User Stories, Create Tasks, Estimate Task, and other

related processes that are conducted for every Sprint. However, if project requirements are not very well

defined or if significant changes are expected in the immediate future, the Length of Sprint may be relatively

shorter, 1 to 3 weeks. This provides stability to the Scrum Team members to work on shorter Sprints and

deliver results, which can be evaluated by the Product Owner and stakeholders at the end of the Sprint. This

also provides enough flexibility for them to clarify requirements and make changes to the Prioritized Product

Backlog at the end of each Sprint.
