My job uses Safe. It's the bastardized scrum you speak of.

Are points the complexity, effort or time? Yes. No. No. Maybe. Yes. Who knows?

They also sum our teams capacity as if we are interchangeable cogs doing the 1 same simple task.

We have endless meetings. Daily 1hrs. Follow up to the follow up. Meeting to plan meetings. (I wish I was joking on this next on) Planning meetings to plan for the upcoming planning meetings.

It's chaos.

It's hell.

I get 5% as much actual work done as I used to. Not even joking. It's bad.

Im not in the industry and the answer to my question might be part of the problem: have you tried to say something? / what was the outcome of you criticising the whole planning and meeting mentality?

Not the person you're answering but usually these are not a root problem but only a symptom. The answer will range from being told that you are the problem to "let's schedule a meeting to discuss that".

The mentality usually stems from higher up, and you don't really get to speak to people originating policy.
