Right, so when someone says they are doing Agile instead of Scrum but don't like it because of the invasive status meetings, they're probably actually doing some form of Scrum whether or not they realize it.
Agreed. But Kanban also often incorporates some of the processes from Scrum like daily standups that aren't prescribed anywhere in Agile.
Personally I find it more useful to organize things around useful product milestones that are actually usable and demo-able. Those might take a week, or three weeks, but probably not two months because that's a long time to go without a demo and getting feedback. Sticking to a rigid 2-week sprint with an expectation of demo-able progress after each sprint doesn't feel particularly realistic or useful to me.
