In the ’80s Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka developed an innovative, flexible and all-inclusive approach to product development they used to call as the “rugby” approach. They said that product development should not be like a sequential relay race, but rather like the rugby game where all the team works as a unit passing the ball back and forth to reach a common goal. In other words, product development should involve “moving the Scrum downfield”.
Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland worked on the Scrum concept and how it applies to software development in a presentation they did at the Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages & Applications (OOPSLA) in 1995 in Austin, Texas.
Since then, different experts have continued to work around the Scrum conceptualization and recently Scrum has increased so much in popularity that it is now the preferred project development approach for many organizations and companies.
