SCUM Alliance Glossary: Understanding the Marketing
We at the SCUM Alliance insist on creating new, often non-sensical, terminology even though perfectly good terms already exist that we could have reused. We do this to help you break out of your pre-conceived notions: OK, we really do it because we think these terms sound cool and it bolsters our argument that you need to take the SCAM training course.
- Certified SCAM Artist. A SCUM Alliance certified instructor of the SCAM training course.
- DOGMA. What we teach. Short for Definitive Organizational General Mastery of Agile.
- Dash. An iteration/timebox in Huddle.
- DUPE. That would be you. Short for Developer Und Programming Engineer.
- Empirical. Any process leading to a consulting empire for us.
- Huddle. An agile process framework that we teach you in the SCAM training course. Huddle takes its name from American football, a game that none of the Huddle creator have actually played in practice so our application of the relatively inane terminology is even more inane when considered from the point of view of someone with actual experience.
- Process framework. Thinly disguised consultant ware.
- SCAM. SCUM CertifiedTM Agile Master.
- SCAMmer. Someone claiming to be a certified master as the result of taking a two-day certification course which nobody fails.
- SCUM. That would be us. Short for Scott’s Certification Und Mentoring.
- SCUM tithe. The monthly payment made by Certified SCAM artists to the SCUM Alliance, $100 per DUPE trained that month.
