As an agile coach I often have Scrum Masters come up to me because management is complaining there are too many meetings in Scrum and that their developers aren't 100% utilised on developing the products. Why is it that so many people walk away from a Scrum event saying it was a waste of time, boring or not relevant to them?

Rather than containing a set of work instructions, Scrum is a framework offering general principles. The simplicity of Scrum means that teams can adopt the complementary practices that work for their environment. For example, Scrum doesn’t tell teams that they need to use points. How to do that is up to the Scrum team.

Where in the Scrum framework do reflection and learning happen? Because although learning should certainly happen there, it’s a waste of opportunities to do it *only* during Sprint Retrospectives, Sprint Reviews, or one of the other Scrum events. You’re only partially right if your answer is the Sprint Retrospective.

One of the clichés about Scrum is that it is “easy to understand but difficult to master” The first part of that is obvious with the Scrum Guide is only eleven pages (if you don’t count the title page, purpose and table of contents).
