	Fungibility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fungibility is a measure of how easily one good may be exchanged or substituted for another example of the same good at equal value.
		Whereas the fungibility of a good is dependent on the intrinsic properties of that good, the liquidity of a good is dependent instead on how easily that good is traded.
		Mass is fungible in all observationally consistent theories of gravitation.

		Having spent the better part of my youth as a galley slave in a large law firm, I can testify that "fungible" is indeed a real word, a legal term used to describe the nature of payment of a debt.
		Basically, if a debt is "fungible," it can be paid in variety of ways, providing that the form of payment is of value equal to the debt.
		As you can probably gather from that explanation, "fungible" has absolutely nothing to do with the word "fun," and has no connection to "fungus" despite the involvement of lawyers.

		Market participants are urged to read this letter in conjunction with the Treasury's letter of January 1997, 3 which provided initial guidance and clarification of the treatment of inflation-indexed securities under the GSA rules.
		To achieve fungibility, inflation-indexed TINTS with the same maturity (i.e., payment) date would be assigned the same CUSIP number, regardless of the underlying inflation-indexed security from which the TINT was stripped.
		Fungibility applies only to TINTS; principal components are not fungible.

		Moreover, while employers are courted worldwide to introduce their business into the fungible community, migrant workers ‘shopping’ for a labour law regime are often treated as a threat to the non-fungible community.

		Yet, the underlying argument about the making of both national and international communities fungible seems to account for the futility of many efforts to establish the regional or to cling to the national.

		Having been called fungible myself during a particularly dark period at a certain major oil company, I can tell you it's a real insult.

	Chris Flaat's WebLog : People are not fungible resources
		saying Boffo is 50% on team A and 50% on team B. This is a basic point of difference between task-based project management (where people are assumed to be fungible resources) and people-based project management (where the team of people is first determined, and their work items second).
		As you might guess, so far it is apparent that partial assignment of people does not work very well (both for efforts using Scrum and for traditional projects).
		So, based on what we’ve seen so far, my advice to my readers is that you should avoid assigning people fractionally – instead, pick one task and throw them fully at it.
