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.

Many well-meaning Scrum practitioners have misconceptions about Scrum, which sometimes leads to creating “rules” that do not exist in the framework. Scrum is deliberately incomplete because the framework is used in complex environments where simple best practices won’t fit all situations.

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.
