I cannot even work out what that means?!Not sure if I've posted this before but I had a line manager who overused the phrase "cascading information down." By the time I left, the only thing I wanted to cascade was my fist into their face
Long winded way of saying you'll pass on information. Usually from a boss down to their
Is anyone else reading this now worrying how much of this tripe might be emerging from their own mouth every day
Ah welcome to techIâve just started a new role in IT and they adopt the Agile methodology and wow it comes with a whole universe or terms and made up job titles.
you might already be familiar with these but basically
Developer Team = Squad
Wider Team = Scrum
Daily meetings = Daily Stand Up
Person who manages the team = Scrum Master
my brain =
are you using Jira for project management? I constantly have to hear my boss say "I'll assign you on a ticket for that", "what epic is that in?", "ok we'll look at that in the next sprint" etc Being part of an agile team has a secret benefit which I'll let you in on.. if people from outside of my team try to get me to do something for them (I'm a designer, people always try to assign me stuff), I tell them they have to ask my boss because it's not in my sprint lol. I have problems saying no to people, but no-one can argue with the developers/designers scrum board on Jira lol
Weâve just moved to Azure Dev Ops but previously used Agile Studio.Ah welcome to tech

Hahaaa yess I do love the structure of Agile! I love that everyone has a role and they stick to it
My local council decided to cause chaos by doing road works all over the place, just as we started to come out of lockdown when theyâd had months of the roads being almost deserted. This annoyed everyone. When asked by the local press what they were playing at, they said that they needed to carry out âurgent repairs on the main corridors into the townâ. âCorridorsâ?! Just call them what they bleeping are! Roads!
Just seen someone on an email say âwant to bring Matt into the foldâ
into the fold. Just makes me think of folds of flab or something

One Team One Dream
I always say this in a really sarcastic way when our boss is being overly peppy!My boss always talks about our department being âthe golden glueâ that holds things together.
We do a lot of âroad mappingâ for our âfootprint for the futureâ that we âsocialiseâ to colleagues via âtown hallâ, âlunch and learnâ or âthe hot washâ.
We do a lot of âparkingâ, âtaking offlineâ and âcircling backâ. We spend a lot of time talking about âlessons learnedâ and âsharing knowledge wealthâ.
One of our directors will start meetings by saying âCalabria, whatâs hot and sexy in (my department)â which makes me want to scratch my own eyes out.
we also talk a lot about âabove the lineâ and âbelow the line behaviourâ and having âcourageous authenticityâ to call our people being âbelow the lineâ

what on earth is the hot wash?
At the end of a project or after a meeting with clients we will have a quick meeting straight away to get the issues out on paper, âquick and dirtyâ so itâs basically like a bitching session, then everyone goes away to work through the issues and find potential solutions which are discussed in the debrief.
what does that even mean!?pop corn style
Iâve grown to hate the word âtoxicâ I.e toxic working environment, it just reminders me of influencers now
My friend absolutely hates âend of playâ lol
I was just about to comment this! Am I your friend?
Thankfully, I've only ever had one colleague who used it.*shudders* So glad I work in a very dry, British-humoured team.
