Read it on AO3.
Author's Notes:
fandomweekly's current prompt is "ceremony" and that word is only going to make me think of ceremonies in Agile methodology, because it's always struck me as odd that we use that word for a non-ritualistic process. In fact, many would argue that the whole point of Agile is to not get stuck in a codified, calcified way of thinking.
This was a fun little write and it made my husband laugh out loud (as we both have been on both sides of this, as both ICs and scrum masters). And that alone made it worth it.
Also, apparently I have invented the "software development" and "Agile methodology" tags on AO3.
Easter egg: All the characters are named after the main actors in Stargate SG-1.
