From Agony to Agility: The Emergence of Scrum as a Leading Agile Framework

Michael J. Scherm ()

Chapter 2 in Scrum for Sales, 2021, pp 15-41 from Springer

Abstract: 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.
