Question

Events on the library-consortium team run because the calendar says so, even though no one can name the purpose. How should the Scrum Master / Team Coach respond?

Accepted Answer

Tie each event to a named outcome—plan work, inspect the increment, or improve the system—and redesign or drop empty ceremony. — A library meeting that exists because Outlook said so is a book club with no books. Each team event has a job: plan, inspect the increment, or improve. If nobody can name that job, redesign the session or stop holding an empty ceremony.

Answer

Keep every calendar slot because SAFe requires every Scrum ceremony regardless of outcome.

Answer

Replace all team events with a single director status briefing.

Answer

Move the events to the Release Train Engineer so the team no longer needs a purpose.
