Abstract

The challenges experienced by the founders of Scrum were similar to those faced by today’s sales organizations. This chapter describes what they are and how the Scrum framework addresses the issues faced by its founders. Introducing key concepts and terminology, helps readers to understand how Scrum works. Tracing back the history of Scrum to its very beginnings and philosophical roots, Chap. 2 also shows that Scrum is much more than a barren framework of roles, rules, and artifacts. The six elements that characterize Scrum have their origins in the thinking of ancient philosophers, time-proven management principles, and fundamental truths substantiated by numerous scientific disciplines. The military’s influence should not be forgotten, either, if one wants to grasp the nature of Scrum.

E.g.: “Do not wait. […] Do not wait to get things in place before starting” (Schwaber, 2007, p. 8).

For example, developers in a recent study by a leading multinational German insurance company that had started implementing Scrum in 2007 saw relative advantages—especially in the meeting of requirements, the time to market and the learning effects that Scrum provides (Overhage & Schlauderer, 2012).

Other reasons for waste on software projects include, for example, unnecessarily complex solutions, ineffective communication, and poor management of the project’s objectives and resources (Sedano et al., 2017).
