title: How short can a Scrum Sprint be?
body: <p>Based on <a href="http://scrummethodology.com/scrum-sprint/" rel="nofollow">this Scrum Sprint description</a>, Sprints are known to be 30 days long, but can be as short as one week.  How does this fit with continuous deployment.  With CD you release completed stories right after they pass integration.  </p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to have a 2 week sprint, but instead of "delivering" the completed stories at the end of the sprint, you just show that they are already delivered?  You may have actually released them throughout the sprint.  </p>
  
  <p>The problem is that integrating and releasing throughout the sprint doesn't let the team plan out the sprint.  It allows management to push the team to release release release, cut corner, and push out code. </p>
