  Standup, backlog/planning and retrospective are literally the only meetings you're supposed to be doing. I'm always baffled how people manage to do the exact opposite of agile and blame it on agile.

    I don't blame agile I blame the consultants and charlatans and the execs that listen to them. Also get rid of retro if there's anything to talk about do it in standup.

      Nah. Standup is for day-to-day current status. It's worth having a regular point where you have a think about how well your process is going over the longer term and if there's anything you want to change. You can always cut it short if everyone's happy with the current state of things.

        and we're out here having meetings about how to make retro more actionable.. but ya it's really more scrum and associated bs that i have a problem with vs og agile.

          > and we're out here having meetings about how to make retro more actionable.. That's something the retro itself should do. First part of the retro should be reviewing the results of the last retro and what's been done about them. (And WTF are you even doing in the retro if you're not coming up with actionable things?) > scrum master or agile guru Lol no, I think those are probably scams. Actually doing agile works, but those positions are probably anticorrelated with actually doing agile.
