Speaking as someone from the financial world who was shocked to learn about
daily standups, no, agile is complete * invented and promoted by non-technical
armchair lieutenants.
Mba-speak, translated:
Value prop = You don’t really need this
Data Science = Not a Real Science
I have it more or less working = It’s not working
I got it working = Please don’t ask me about this anymore
Does this make sense? = Are you even listening?
Let’s stop talking about talking about the issue = We’re halfway through this meeting
Please enter a jira estimate = I am or want to be your boss
Quick stand-up = I’m interrupting your flow
Daily stand-up = I’m interrupting your flow every day
PM = Tom Smykowski
Product = Paid Intern
Feature complete = See “I have it more or less working”
Deep dive = I have no intention of pursuing this
In-flight = I enjoy dramatizing the trivial (See “How Can We Land the Plane”)
This is not intended to offend anyone = This probably offends everyone
