An hour a day for standup, five hours a week for retro. Grooming sessions never made a dent in the backlog. 30 person team, VP in the room during some standups.

Obviously that monster was not what anyone intended by agile, yet the trappings of scrum slot neatly into what the organization actually wanted. Interchangeable workers, a progress chart to show the SVP, enough hipness to sound like the management isn't to blame.

An hour long meeting is not a standup. The whole reason it is called a standup is that it is short enough that no one gets uncomfortable standing through the whole meeting.

There's a reason Atlassian products have the graphs front and center, and the actual data entry you have to drill down a lot to find.
