@dylanclarke9497 , discussions like these are great. I think people will learn a lot from asking these kinds of questions. I think the issue here is that agile is intentionally vague. Two weeks is arbitrary, and this sprint length originates from agile's history. It's just a detail in history. The length of a sprint is not essential to succeed with agile. It's just a way for people to imagine how much work they can get done in a reasonable amount of time. If you can't get enough done in two weeks, you won't be able to accomplish agile. You need to have confidence in what you can get done in a specific timeframe. If you can get plenty done in two weeks, where is the importance of following the two-week arbitrary deadline? If you can exceed expectations, why would you limit yourself?
