Asanovic Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Piece is a new one. I work on projects and instead of 'keeping things consistent right throughout the project', we're now 'keeping things consistent right across the piece'. Y'onabaat?

I work on projects and instead of 'keeping things consistent right throughout the project', we're now 'keeping things consistent right across the piece'. Y'onabaat? Breaking the project down into a series of sprints, silly, then applying consistency across that cycle. I bet you don't know your agile from your extreme - try asking your scrum master.

SillyBilly Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 At the end of the day "End of play" is another office line I hear..."can you get this over to me for end of play?". ''I'd hate to know what these people do for fun. If I had a quid every time my "coordinator" (HR Lacky) says "a will and a want" I'd be in Monaco right now.

eddie Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 When I first moved from the labs into IT (and in those days we obviously couldn't spell because we called it DP), a term used for something that was 'work in progress' was "Ongoing development situation" (yes, it was an American organisation).

Phoenix Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 I remember those days. You had to build an extension to house the monolithic computer, with £250K,s worth of air conditioning. Punched cards and all that. We had a program (that's IBM for programme) called a random buzzword generator. Basically there were 3 pools of words, the 1st two technical-sounding adjectives, the third, some technical sounding nouns. The generator would pick one word from each pool. 'Ongoing development situation' would be a typical example. 'Electronic magnetic peripherals' might be another. Having said that, one of the punch girls did have magnetic peripherals.
