Background

History

The creator of The Scrum development process have been a frequent topic of debate, but from the Scrum Parers [5] by Jeff Sutherland the start of Scum has been dedicated to the Godfathers; Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka, they where the ones that came up with he name Scrum and came up with the initial concept in the paper [The New Product Development Game] [10] in 1986 [1]. While Jeff Sutherland was the one to apply the concept and tweak it for then introducing it together with Ken Schwaber at the OOPSLA 1995 conference.

Takeuchi and Nonaka realized that in the "fast-paced, fiercely competitive world of commercial new product development, speed and flexibility are essential" [10], and that the old way of developing product by following a in sequential order was not sufficient. Takeuchi and Nonaka therefore introduced a holistic approach with six characteristics "built-in instability, self-organizing project teams, overlapping development phases, "multilearning", subtle control, and organizational transfer of learning" [10] when used as a whole become a flexible and powerful tool and named it Scrum.

Scrum was later introduced by Schwaber and Mike Beedel in the book first book about Scrum: Agile Software Development with Scrum in 2001. From the Scrum Papers [5] it becomes clear that there have been many contributors in forming the Scrum framework. A Scrum community stated emerging, and a platform to unite the community was created with the name Scrum Alliance (SA) [6] and Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) certification. But over the time since SA was created there became an dispute about their stands and trancparency [7] and the result was that Schwaber created Scrum.org[8]. In 2013 Schwaber and Sutherland published the latest version of The Scrum GuideTM [9].
