Add to those "Reliability of Commitment". For a shorter sprint it

seems easier to make a commitment and really mean it.  But

4 or more weeks after we made the commitment it seems a long

while ago and we know a lot more now than we did then... was it

really a binding commitment we made?  I see commitments being

met over 2 week sprints more often than they are over longer

sprints.
