I’ve recently been in a scrum team that failed to follow most of this structure and it was a shambles.
I agree that this setup gives purpose to each meeting, and they are all things that are important.
If we could have basically only these meetings then that would be ideal, IMO.
Yeah I’m not sure what the weekly stand up is trying to achieve, maybe I’m just lucky but I don’t recall ever being in a team with these.
I do believe 1:1s are important, but that’s outside of scrum and should be on a schedule that works for the participants (might be an hour weekly for some, half an hour monthly for others).
