to create regularity and to minimize the need for meetings
The sprint timebox

When a new sprint starts
A new Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous Sprint.
What can happen during the sprint
Scope may be clarified and renegotiated with the Product Owner as more is learned.
The Product Backlog is refined as needed; and,
No changes are made that would endanger the Sprint Goal;
Problems with a sprint too long
Sprint Goal may become invalid,
complexity may rise,
and risk may increase
Benefits of shorter sprints
generate more learning cycles
limit risk of cost and effort to a smaller time frame
When a sprint can be cancelled
When the sprint goal becomes obsolete
Who can cancel the sprint
Product owner
