Team Fizz Buzz is not an unreasonable team name! Or is the norm out there for teams to name themselves to whatever they are working on?

Our current teams are named: "Team America 2", "Kill Kenny" and "Etablissemanget" ("The Establishment" in swedish)




Previous company I worked with once ended up with Project Erick, after a CEO brain fart led to a meeting where he kept referring to (present and accounted for) John Erickson as 'Erick Johnson'.


You may have something there, I do recall meeting a member of Apple’s System Seven team, and his business card read:

Omniscient Thaumaturge, Blue Meanies Group


Not bad! On a similar note Etablissemanget adopted "treating objects like women" as their slogan.


Where do you work and how can I apply for a job? :)


Typically a team would be "named" for its location, general responsibilities, and/or the codename of the project they're working on, particularly if they're large enough to have an actual COO and a "Director of Development".

A project codenamed FizzBuzz is not out of the realm of possibility, but it would strike me as a very unusual choice to name a project after a programmer interview test....
