Is there a more annoying corporate term than "scrum"?

[mollywhop]

Like "stay around after this meeting for the marketing scrum"

[DizzyEdge]

I'm not sure but let's take that away and circle back tomorrow.

 

[jelloslug]

I have never heard anyone use that term.

agreed let's take this offline

Most annoying thing I ever heard in a mandated seminar was 'let's drill down on this.'

How about - "Ok, good question. Let's talk a little more about this."

How does this happen? Like one person watches rugby while on a trip to England and starts repeating their new found word 100x day?

 

[Thoreau]

Never heard that term outside a rugby match. Good luck with you insufferable work environment.

Scrum-diddly-unptious

[ERock]

A lot of you haven't worked in an agile environment and it shows

FYI it gained popularity from Agile , but now it’s used generically as a huddle

example : I had a hours long scrum with @mollywhop mom .

Thank god too. I’ve seen the agile work spaces. Basically people packed like sardines with no privacy.

Bet they regret that investment with Covid around

We don't use SCRUM

We do have people that like "put a pin in it". I have to stop myself from laughing on calls when i hear these clichés

A lot of the people who (mis)use the term haven't, either.

Pivot.

Most overused term these days.

 

[TenSteel]

scrum is a hockey term.

Stop blamestorming core concepts which you haven't been able to synergize. Lets not boil the ocean on this one, it could really use some wordsmithing so lets circle back otherwise this won't scale and it'll die as net-new.

Reading this made me happy I don't have to go to meetings peppered with this kind of bullshit.

Every software shop claims to do "agile" nowadays, and most of them think it means daily status updates and troops of project managers who boss devs around

Scrum is most definitely not a hockey term
