Used in the SCRUM process, a popular in software development projects. Often estimates are given in story points, rather than days or hours. For some reason story points have to be a fibonacci number. At the same time a person are often given a limit of how many story points you can commit to in a given sprint. E.g. 8 story points per person in a two week sprint.
Scrum master: And how many story points do you think that one is worth?
Developer A: 3 - maybe a little more
Developer B: 5 - maybe a little less
Developer A: Lets agree on 4 story points then.
Scrum master: No can do. 4 is not a fibonacci number.
Developer A: Ah. come on.
Scrum master: You can pick 3 or 5.
Developer B: We are not putting up with the fibonacci fascism much longer ...
