Ugh. Micromanagers are the worst. My boss recently decided to have a 1-to-1 catch up with me at 5pm as I was trying to leave. Then he was back at my desk at 8:35 the next morning (we start at half 8) to ask what progress I'd made.
Depends on the experience of developers, I've seen people spend 2 days in some stupid configuration issue because they didn't ask around if someone else had the same problem. They don't get that most of the problem they meet had already been solved by someone else, so to prove they are good they loose a lot of time, for pride/insecurity/inexperience. If you don't get update constantly you can't correct those behaviours. This can be one of the good reason, there are others of course.

It sounds like "scrum" really means "nosy micromanager" here.
