Correct answers: D, E
Explanation
Sprints are time-boxed events, meaning they have a fixed duration. While they are typically one month or less, they should be long enough to allow the Scrum Team to deliver a potentially releasable Increment of product. The guide also emphasizes that a new Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous Sprint, ensuring a consistent rhythm and pace for the team's work. If the duration of the Sprint extends beyond a certain point, it could lead to various challenges. These include the potential invalidation of the Sprint Goal, an increase in complexity, and a higher level of risk for the project or product.Discussion
