scrumfuffle

A portmanteau of "Scrum" (ie. "a huddle, convening of a small group for a purpose"), and "kerfuffle" (ie. "a terrible mess of a situation"). When a group of developers come together for a scrum meeting, it can quickly and easily devolve into a "scrumfuffle" when bickering begins over sizing and assigning work. Or bickering over which text editor to use (ie. VIM or EMACS)

scrumfuffle

A portmanteau of "Scrum" (ie. "a huddle, convening of a small group for a purpose"), and "kerfuffle" (ie. "a terrible mess of a situation"). It could be a situation when developers (or another team) meet to discuss a plan and then the entire purpose of the meeting/scrum is lost, and chaos ensues when arguments arise. Such bickering frequently occurs during scrums over work sizing and assignments. Or over rival text editor factions (ie. VIM or EMACS)

The word with South African origins, is used to describe a big group of footprints. Often found in the sands of South Africa .. it has recently been spotted in some remote & snow filled areas in North America. Even on occasion, Baby Scufuffle's are found on windshields.
