6. Scrum-History
• 1986: Scrum was first defined as "a flexible, holistic product
development strategy where a development team works as a
unit to reach a common goal" as opposed to a "traditional,
sequential approach" by Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka
in the "New New Product Development Game"
• Early 1990’s: Ken Schwaber used what would become Scrum at
his company, Advanced Development Methods, and Jeff Sutherland,
with John Scumniotales and Jeff McKenna, developed a similar
approach at Easel Corporation, and were the first to refer to it using
the single word Scrum
• 2001: Ken Schwaber worked with Mike Beedle to describe the
method in the book Agile Software Development with Scrum
