Creating a Team Name
Finding the concept of overly zealous agile and scrum teams rather hilarious the name Scrum Ninjas was suggested. However, we were worried that it might be a name that an overly zealous agile and/or scrum team might actual use. Not wanting to be confused with people who actually think a name like Scrum Ninjas is clever we decided alterations were necessary.
Accordingly, we made the name more ridiculous by appending Jedi Masters and finally prepending Dinosaur Riding.
Results
During this meeting we decided that topic 1 did not sounds as interesting or fun as 2 or 13. Thus, we adjourned with the intention of picking one or the other during our next meeting.
We picked the team name: Dinosaur Riding Scrum Ninja Jedi Masters (DRSNJM).
