Why the Sprint is a 'container' for empiricism
WHAT IT TESTS: that the fixed-length Sprint is what makes inspect-and-adapt possible. OUTLINE: a steady cadence creates regular inspection points, the Sprint Goal stays fixed once committed, and Developers are shielded from scope churn.
WHAT IT TESTS: whether you see the Sprint's fixed length as the engine of empiricism, not just a deadline. ANSWER OUTLINE: a consistent cadence produces predictable inspect-and-adapt points (Review, Retrospective); the Sprint Goal is locked once the Developers commit, so priorities cannot legally shift mid-Sprint; and that stability lets the team focus without context switching. RED FLAG: treating the Sprint as a countdown timer, or allowing the Product Owner to inject new scope whenever they like.
