Is biweekly twice a week or every two weeks? My previous gig had grooming/internal grooming every week. We had stand ups twice a week (biweekly). Almost all of these meetings were relatively worthless imo. They existed to justify a BA's position and "track velocity".

Every two weeks, in our case. Confusing word, sorry. We had two week "sprints". Every day a 15 minute standup before lunch.

We planned what we were going to do the next two weeks. During that time urgent work would also be added and other things wouldn't be finished, but they just moved to the next sprint. Releases were quarterly (customers didn't like frequent releases) so not related to the "sprints".

Some managers described this as "Scrum light", fine with me.
