Person to other person:
I live 10 minutes from work with the bike. That’s nice, no traffic. But today, like many other days, I came with the car.
Just wanted to share silly thing I heard.
Heard on the job
manager: can you do this in Java?
Team: Can you tell us some more about it?
manager: Yes but estimations and such will not work since it is fixed price and fixed scope. So it can not be done with scrum.
Team: Well you know …. manager, you
Stuff they say.
Project manager to a team member of another project:
Agility is the most important thing. Often it are small questions, but they require immediate attention for the project to be able to proceed.
By which he means. If I need you, drop everything you are doing in your team for that other customers and forget about your sprint commitments
