IT dictionary or What? Where? Where? Part 2

In the first part of the article, I listed and explained the words that Wrike developers and managers use in their daily communication. Both verbally and in writing. But there was still a series of words from the same categories. Knowing the meanings of these words helps colleagues understand each other more easily.

Scrum terminology

Dod

Baga

From English bug (literally – beetle) – an error in the code, a problem, a flaw. The word has long been in the vocabulary of developers, but it is interesting how the form of the term changes. Tracing paper “bug” has turned into a feminine word – “bug”. In this form, alignment in sentences is simpler. And if the error or the problem is very small, then this is bagul.
