    To be honest, it's usually Bob (on a crackly speakerphone) who comes off worst in any scrums I've been in.

    Sounds dreamy.
    Also:

    Informal: A disordely struggle.

  • Beautiful Moments of Bulltulip that pass barely noticed

    1. Agile meeting. Team of eight standing in a circle. The pattern for months has been that the scrum master always looks to his right for the first update but on this particular day, to murmurs of consternation, he asks the person to his left for the first update.

    This person happens to be a lairy bstard who's primary goal on the project seems to be sloth and self-promotion. He is caught wonderfully unprepared but recovers sufficiently to provide this gem:

    "I've been working and stuff". No one batted an eyelid.


    2. This morning's daily standup. The person responsible for moving developments into the test system (who happens to be another lazy gobshyte more interested in telling everyone how busy he is while contributing next to nothing) is asked "Has development X been moved yet?".

    His answer which passes unchallenged: "It's almost done".

    Genius.

Working...
