It has been quite a week.  My last blog post hit a bit of a nerve, and there was lots of chatter about my feelings regarding faux titles.  This prompted many people on Google Plus to get together and joke around about weird titles they heard and make up a few of our own.  Today, E3 Systems is proud to announce the “Ninja Lion Sensei Master Cobra” certification.

With our tongue firmly in our cheeks, we created the Ninja Lion Sensei Master Cobra certification to recognize outrageous accomplishments of agile experience.  For example, if you have been trying to do an agile implementation and your executive team has obstructed it, you might be a Ninja Lion Sense Master Cobra.

Please don't hesitate to add other examples in the comments.

The hashtag is #nlsmc, and we will have t-shirts at the Global Scrum Gathering in Phoenix.  I look forward to not taking ourselves too seriously in May.

Until next time.
