Scrum recommends 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks of sprints. Which duration (how many weeks) is good for the projects/products and why?

I vote for 3 weeks. It's not too long or too short. However, if you are doing SAFe, it's better to do 2 weeks.

Sprint duration depends on may factors that must be taken into account before a sprint started. Considring a fixed duration is not the right thing to do.

I think we need fix the duration of the sprint. Otherwise, we may loose the sustainability.
