What is a committed pig?

A 'Committed Pig' is a term used in Agile and Scrum project management to describe team members who are fully responsible for the success of a project, as opposed to 'chickens' who are only involved peripherally. The term originates from the classic 'chicken and pig' joke, where the pig is committed to the breakfast (by providing bacon), while the chicken is only involved (by providing eggs). In practice, Committed Pigs are typically developers, testers, and product owners who actively contribute to the completion of work. This distinction helps clarify roles and responsibilities within Agile teams.
