"Commitments", not "git commits". For revenue teams, this could be signing a contract, scheduling a certain number of meetings, drafting a blog post, etc. Similar parallels for any team within a company. The key is being able to break larger projects into manageable weekly commitments that are specific and measurable.
I so agree with the ridiculousness of this behavior. When people talk of an "ask" meaning "request" i cringe at the embarrassment of their need to be jargon-cool rather than individuals.
