Lies, damned lies.

SCRUM by definition is meetings.

in fact, I like this topic, because usually people use the motte and bailey of Agile. (as in, Agile is a manifesto to some, or a process to someone else) but scrum is super well defined, and it is defined by: structured meetings.

Is there, in Scrum, a meeting "to plan the meetings about the meetings", as the critique suggests?

My understanding is there are 3 meetings in core scrum:

- planning (which is not about planning meetings, but about breaking down work)

- review

- retrospective

None of those are 2nd or 3rd order "meeting planning" meetings.

If people throw in backlog grooming or other sessions, that's up to them.
