A fixed amount of hours? Really? That seems impractical.

I feel like defining Sprints in hours might be too granular. I recall that most resources suggest weeks or days for better planning.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think a fixed amount of weeks makes sense, but I wonder if we should consider the team's capacity too.

I think Sprints should be a fixed amount of days, like 14 or 21, but I’m a bit confused about how that fits with the three-month iterations we’re currently using.

I remember that Sprints are usually defined in weeks, but I'm not sure if excluding holidays is the best approach.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Should the sprint cycle be defined in months, weeks, days, or hours? I want to make sure I choose the right option to properly transition the team from RUP to Scrum.

I've got this! The sprint cycle should be defined in a fixed amount of days. That way, the team can plan their work in a predictable way and it's easy to track progress.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know Scrum typically uses a fixed time period for sprints, but I'm not sure if it's weeks, days, or something else. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This is a pretty straightforward question. I think the best approach is to define the sprint cycle in a fixed amount of weeks, excluding holidays. That way, the team can plan their work consistently and account for any time off.
