	Scrum (rugby) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In rugby football, a scrummage or scrum is a way of restarting the game, either after an accidental infringement (a set scrum, in rugby union and rugby league), or when the ball has gone into touch (in rugby league only).
		The scrum half from the team that did not infringe then throws the ball into the tunnel thus formed, and the hookers (and sometimes the props) compete for possession by trying to hook the ball backwards with their feet, while the entire pack tries to push the opposing pack backwards.
		The ball is then rolled between the legs of the loose-head prop by his scrum-half directly to the back of the scrum: the scrum-half either then runs around and collects the ball himself, or the loose forward detaches from the back of the scrum to collect the ball.

	Scrum (management) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scrum is facilitated by a ScrumMaster, whose primary job is to remove impediments to the ability of the team to deliver the sprint goal.
		Scrum enables the creation of self-organising teams by encouraging verbal communication across all team members and across all disciplines that are involved in the project.
		A key principle of scrum is its recognition that fundamentally empirical challenges cannot be addressed successfully in a traditional "process control" manner.

		On a signal from the referee the front rows engage with each other so that their heads are interlocked with those of the other side's front row.
		Another player (the scrum half) from the team that did not infringe then throws the ball into the tunnel thus formed, and the hookers (and sometimes the props) compete for possession by trying to hook the ball backwards with their feet, while the entire pack tries to push the opposing pack backwards.
		The scrum looks basically like a union scrum with the two flank-forwards removed.

		A scrum is an important way to restart play during a rugby match.
		The scrum half of the team in possession then rolls the ball between the two front rows of forwards, and each team tries to hook the ball backward with the feet.
		When the ball is released by the successful team’s last forward, the scrum half takes the ball and runs, passes, or kicks, as play continues.

	Notes from the Agile Experience Group Meeting
		Scrum is an approach to systems development first presented to OMG in 1995 by two companies concerned over the lack of breakthrough productivity in object-oriented development projects.
		Scrum is not an acronym (which is why I'm not writing it as SCRUM), but instead borrows the term from Rugby, where a team of players pack together around the ball and everyone in the pack works together to move the ball down the field.
		Scrum is intended for use by teams in environments where requirements are rapidly changing or initially unclear.

	SCRUM: Saving Projects from Failing
		The SCRUM, which you might have expected is not an acronym for any thing but in fact, comes from the world of the sport, rugby.
		Scrum is the name of the formal conglomeration of forwards who bind together in specific positions when a scrumdown is called in rugby.
		Scrum is a way for everyone to feel good about their job, their contributions, and that they have done the very best they possibly could.

	Teams, Stay on Track with Scrum Meetings
		A scrum is a rugby play in which team members come together in a compact formation to move the ball down the field.
		Scrums are focused on the people doing the work, not management.
		Before holding your first scrum, your team – with the help of management –; must decide what projects should be completed in the next 15 to 30 days – a time period known as the sprint.

	The Scrum
		Scrums often look like little piles of people created at the beginning of each play, where the two teams push against each other.
		The scrum-half from the team awarded the scrum feeds the ball into the left hand side of their scrum where it is hooked by the hooker (#2) and passed through to the Number 8's feet.
		The hooker directs the action in the scrum, and all other members of the scrum (affectionately dubbed "scrummies") are attuned to listen for the hooker's calls.

	Scrumhalf
		A scrum half who can make breaks, on the blind side or past the ruck or maul is a potent weapon because it forces the opposition to focus on several areas of defence, both physically and mentally.
		The scrum half is also the coach of the forwards in organising their body positions in mauls and rucks.
		Yes, the scrum half should also be able to kick the ball when his fly half (the principal kicker of the team) is under pressure.

	About Scrum - Overview
		Scrum can be implemented at the beginning of a project or in the middle of a project or product development effort that is in trouble.
		Scrum is a set of interrelated practices and rules that optimize the development environment, reduce organizational overhead, and closely synchronize market requirements with iterative prototyes.
		Scrum has been used to produce financial products, Internet products, and medical products by ADM. In every instance, the organization was logjammed, unable to produce shippable products for such a long period of time that engineers, management, and investors were deeply concerned.

		A scrum is an Agile methodology for project management, in use since at least 1990.
		Notably missing from Scrum is the "cookbook" approach to project management exemplified in the Project Management Body of Knowledge - which assures(?) quality through application of a series of prescribed processes.
		A scrum is also a play in rugby where people go into a huddle in order to create misplacement - in other words the ball is in the centre of the scrum and it is kicked out into the main game.

	Scrum and other methodologies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The core of SCRUM is that it applies to managing any process that requires an empirical method, as opposed to a defined method.
		SCRUM is largely about controlling the balance between what the customer wants and how he/she discovers this and the opportunity for develpers to produce useful product increments.
		With these arguments about methodology it's easy to slip into a mode where the advocate is trying to defend the idea that the methodogy is useful in some cases, and the skeptic is arguing that it's not useful in all cases, and neither side realizes that there's no inherent disagreement yet.

	What is Rugby.com - The Scrum
		The scrum is the defining characteristic of rugby and is used to restart play following a minor infraction.
		The team which pushes their opponents away from the ball and/or keeps contol of the ball will have possession of the ball and is said to have "won the scrum".
		Once the front row is set, the two second rows bind tightly together and to the front row, putting their heads in the gaps between the hooker and the props.

	The Vanity Experiment: SCRUM
		On Friday I attended a SCRUM course given by Ken Schwaber, who's brainchild is the SCRUM process (agile software development).
		SCRUM is and Iterative process (inspect and adapt) good at isolating teams from 'seagull management'.
		SCRUM basically has a premise that you can't just hand over a brief or spec, as this flys in the face of the iterative cycle where a multidisciplinary team cracks on with finding solutions to individual requirements rather than defining whole systems (yes, I was worried here...

		In a software development context, Scrum is an agile software-management process characterized, among other things, by quick daily meetings to report on project status.
		Like XP and RUP, Scrum tries to address the shortcomings of traditional software processes, where the assumptions that software development can be repeatable and well defined were often flawed.
		During a Sprint, the Backlog that the Sprint includes is static—no new items may be added and the prioritization remains fixed for that portion of the Backlog.

	Game Development Enters the Scrum
		The problems I described in the presentation with traditional development are almost universal, and Scrum has a lot of great common sense practices, which are not hard to adopt to address those problems.
		It is also difficult at first for teams to take on the responsibility involved with the level of commitment and ownership that Scrum demands, although once teams become accustomed to it and see its benefits, they're likely to quickly step up to the task.
		I've given presentations on Agile and Scrum in the past, and will be presenting another production track session at GDC 2006 titled "Agile Methodology in Game Development: Year 3." I also maintain a website at www.agilegamedevelopment.com, as well as a mailing list and blog.

	Amazon.com: Agile Software Development with SCRUM: Books: Ken Schwaber,Mike Beedle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Scrum is in fact much more predictable and effective than manufacturing-like processes, because when the Scrum practices, patterns and rules are applied diligently, the outcome is always; 1) higher productivity, 2) higher adaptability, 3) less risk and uncertainty, and 4) greater human comfort.
		Schwaber is the "Godfather of Scrum" and essentially invented the techniques; Beedle was one of the first converts to Scrum and together they definitely know their stuff.
		SCRUM has some very interesting ideas about managing a software project, but the book is just OK. I seem to remember him saying that "it was done quickly, just in time for a conference" on his blog at one point.
