Overzealous Agile evangelist enthusiastically pitches Jira project types to a bored listener
Description
Meme uses the baseball-stands "guy explaining" photo: a blond woman in a white tank top sits in stadium seats while a man in a navy shirt reading "ASTROS" leans in, animatedly talking. All visible faces are blurred for anonymity. Above the photo, black caption text reads: "So that’s just like, one way Agile Methodology is awesome. Now, let me tell why Jira is cool AF. It starts with picking the project type..." The humor comes from the man’s intense monologue contrasted with the woman’s disengaged posture, paralleling developers cornered by an Agile/Jira enthusiast eager to explain sprint rituals and project-type configuration. Technically, it references Agile methodology evangelism and the first step in Jira setup, poking fun at over-detailed tool discussions common in project management circles

I love how Jira’s first question is “Scrum or Kanban?” - as if a single dropdown can reverse ten years of Conway’s Law, three re-orgs, and the fact that prod still thinks SVN is a modern dependency manager
Nothing says "we're doing Agile" quite like spending three sprints configuring Jira workflows to perfectly model the waterfall process you're actually following
Nothing says 'we're agile' quite like spending three hours in a meeting debating whether your next project should be a Scrum board, Kanban board, or that mysterious 'Next-gen' project type in Jira - while your actual sprint work sits untouched and your deployment pipeline gathers dust. The real agile methodology is pretending to care about project taxonomy while mentally refactoring the legacy monolith you'll be stuck maintaining regardless of which template gets selected
Nothing says Agile like a 45-minute Jira pitch about Scrum vs Kanban, followed by three sprints renaming columns while throughput stays flat
Jira's project type picker: Agile's sprint zero, where velocity is clicks per template
Agile pro-tip: if the pitch starts with 'Jira is cool' and 'pick the project type', you're about to do architecture by dropdown and governance by custom field
