I retired two years ago, but finally made peace with SCRUM in my final years by eliminating standing team meetings for retrospective / review / backlog. Backlog - groom during long/medium term planning. Not everyone needs to be in the room for this, just leads. Use 1:1s to triangulate on issues that we're ignoring or under-resourcing. Retro - on an infrastructure team, retros are already built into the incident management process. Sprint review - start sprint planning by asking how'd the last sprint go. Did anything gunk up the works? Are there any promises we didn't keep? The rotating on-call and triage (secondary on-call) would fill us in on any active fires, or less us know if we can/should hand ownership of an issue to another team.
