Oh, oh, make a scrum team! Have sprints! And daily stand-ups!
(Please do not do these things.)

Oh, we're doing it all, including planning poker. I've got a whiteboard and a stack of sticky notes waiting. I'm going to agile the sh*t out of this.
(No, no I'm not.)

Agile is a verb now? I had no idea.

Another big issue is that after the PHP upgrade in January, all new database records that are created are encoded as UTF-8, whereas all previous database records were Latin-1. So if you go back and read any old posts, you will see a lot of ⬧s.
I was thinking of writing a script to go through and update all the old records and reencoding any that aren't just plain ascii to utf-8. (I did this manually already for a few things like the quotes, and § ita §'s username. The main problem being that it would take a long time to complete (weeks or even months), and there is the possibility I could fuck up the board's database.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Buffista product tenets:
All planning poker must be done with kittens.
After planning, post-its must be copied on to the sprint board using a system of different colored pens.
Anyone who suggests building an experience map will be staked.

I've added some issues, investigating the logging out issue, fixing a concerning security flaw, and coming up with a plan for a better mobile experience.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Buffista product tenets:
These would honestly make my daily standup a million times more fun. And I already do all my estimating with giant foam D&D dice as a (manager-approved) statement of how silly I find the whole thing.
