Cultural Characteristics of Scrum

Chapter 3 in The Scrum Culture, 2015, pp 27-41 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In order to understand a culture, one has to know where its origins are and how it evolved. Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland presented Scrum for the first time at the OOPSLA conference in Austin, Texas, in 1995. At this point they had already been working together for several years. Both had huge experience as software developers, project managers, line managers, and owners of IT companies in the United States of America. They were struggling with the status quo of dealing with software development, specifically waterfall project management approaches. At that time, projects and companies they were involved in were failing and due to the pressure they were feeling, they went in a different direction. At the same time, lean management and empirical process control as well as iterative and incremental development practices were emerging and impressed Ken and Jeff. Especially the works of Babatunde Ogunnaike as well as Takeuchi and Nonaka (1986) influenced them (cf. Schwaber and Sutherland 2012, p. 27). This chapter describes the origins of Scrum and shows the results of literature research regarding the Scrum Culture.
