Occult Scrum Sprint Names

Agile ceremony taken literally. Stand-up as summoning, retrospective as séance, and a backlog that grows when nobody is observing it.

The genre's best names are the ones that require no exaggeration at all. The Standup Has No End and The Burndown Never Reaches Zero are horror premises and accurate meeting descriptions simultaneously, and that doubling is the only trick this genre needs to work.

02 / Advisory Non-binding
Issue when
Sprint 13. Obviously.
Withhold when
Sprint 13, if anyone on the team is superstitious about it. There is a name in here for that situation too.

Selected entries

  1. The Scrum Master Has No Reflection34

    Never says the word vampire, and does not need to. The genre at its most economical.

  2. Nothing Was Committed. Something Was.37

    The only entry with two sentences, and it earns both of them.

  3. Do Not Name the Sprint22

    Advice this entire site declines to take.
