Should you adopt a 1 week sprint?

At first I was skeptical about it and the team weren't comfortable too. With all the scrum ceremonies and other meetings, the team felt most of their time were consumed in such calls.

I felt it was meaningless, but now when I look back, I honestly feel the weekly sprint was super effective. Lets' see how

- Spot and sort your weak links sooner
In a 1 week sprint, your bottlenecks gets exposed soon. I had 2 sprint failures initially due to some weak links, but we identified it and sorted out soon.

- Getting to the granular level
Big user stories for a shorter sprint didn't make sense. I quickly understood it and worked on decomposing features to a granular level enabling incremental releases

- Impediments were like a "Forest Fire"
In a weekly sprint, Impediments travels faster than light :) It reaches all the levels of management quickly ensuring prompt resolutions

- Improves team efficiency
There was no room for "Lets see tomorrow". If any issue, the team convenes and sorts it out at the earliest

There are few cons too, but the weekly sprint is super effective especially for a product being developed from scratch.
