Swimming With the Light On

Sprint: The new “work week.” Derived from Agile nomenclature. (Time has historically been extremely Waterfall, which we know is bad for team-based technology work.) The “days” are now referred to as Planspan, Scrumspan, Kanbanspan, Pushspan, and Retrospan, with two days for binge. “Eileen, pace yourself. It’s only Scrumspan. We’ve got three lightmodes to go before good-binge.”
