What is the maximum fixed duration of a Sprint?

14 days
21 days
30 days
45 days

The correct answer is: 30 days

The maximum fixed duration of a Sprint in Scrum is 30 days. Sprints are time-boxed iterations where a team produces a potentially shippable product increment. The idea behind having a maximum length is to maintain consistency and allow for regular feedback loops, ensuring that the team can adapt its work effectively after each Sprint. While Sprints can be shorter than this maximum limit, they should never exceed 30 days, as longer Sprints could hinder the team's ability to respond to changes and maintain a rhythm in delivery. The 30-day cap aligns with the Agile principles of maintaining a sustainable pace and focusing on delivering value incrementally.
