That’s pretty much the idea behind the scrum events, they should reduce the need for other meetings. As a note the weekly stand-up and 1:1 that show up in the picture are not scrum events.
Thing is, the scrum guide is pretty clear that if you don’t follow the whole thing, you shouldn’t call it scrum and you’re on your own. It can still work, but only if the mindset is right and people involved know what they are trying to do with it. Which most times is not the case.
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).
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.
