| Context | Product Backlog Items are ready to be realized. |
| Problem | What is the optimum amount of time a Team can work with a minimum of written communication? |
| Forces | too little/too much scope to be realized too little/too much written communication too little/too much organizational overhead |
| Solution | Start a Sprint with a length of one up to four weeks. A Development Team can work up to four weeks without relying heavily on documents. Focussing on oral communication strengthens collaboration, productivity and quality. Reduce the Sprint length if you need more flexibility, but keep in mind that there might be a loss of productivity, if it is too short. |
| Resulting Context | The Development Team produced a potentially shippable increment of the product and is ready for another Sprint. |
