The problem is that business conditions do change that fast.

However for a lot of small companies it is better than what they had before, regarding consistent direction. Lots of startups change scope or features daily and are in a constant state of panic.

Having a fixed two/one week sprint provides same restspite for developers. But still allowing feature and priorities to be changed after each sprint.

That's what I thought for a while too, but most everything I have made in the last 2-3 years got shoved in a ditch. We're not responding to the market, we're just flailing around trying different dumb stuff.
