[All SMC Questions]

As a Scrum Master, you have to coordinate with the Product Owner to ensure that an appropriate Length of

Sprint is determined keeping in mind the changes expected. Which of the following statements is true in this

regard?

AIt is advisable to consider the Release Dates for the overall product or service to determine the Length of
Sprint.

BThe impact and frequency of expected changes do not have any impact on the decision related to the
Length of Sprint.

CIf the project is stable, with only minor changes expected, the Length of Sprint should be relatively shorter,
1 to 3 weeks.

DTo get maximum benefits from a Scrum project, it is always recommended to keep the Sprint Time-boxed
to 6 weeks.
:
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.
