What should the project team consider when defining their sprint duration and cadence?

When defining their sprint duration and cadence, the project team should consider:

A. Sprint duration between 1 week to 4 weeks: This is the typical range for sprint durations in Agile methodologies. It balances the need for frequent feedback with the practicalities of meaningful work increments.

D. Establish fixed duration of each sprint: Setting a fixed duration for sprints helps establish a consistent rhythm for the team, making planning and progress tracking easier and more predictable.

Adjusting sprint duration based on team availability (Option B) and setting variable sprint durations based on work (Option C) can lead to inconsistencies that disrupt the team's rhythm and make it difficult to measure progress across sprints.References:
