Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Driven Development

Everyone sits around drinking Red Bull, eating Doritos, boasting about their accomplishments and pretending to be some sort of tenth-level software architect when deep down they're still not quite sure what a pointer is. A "dungeon master" (also known as a "project manager") occasionally rolls some dice or reads a Gartner report, and then tells them that their project has died. Then they do it all over again, once every couple of months, sometimes continuing well into middle age.
