Scrum – What’s in a name?
The Scrum methodology takes its name from the great game of rugby. A rugby scrum proceeds something like this:
The people up front leading the way are trying to steer things in the right direction but they’re busy fighting their own individual battles. Those behind them don’t know what’s going on because they’ve got their heads up other people’s arses. There are a couple of destructive individuals – they’re called flankers, or something similar – and some bloke who’s not contributing anything to the effort is standing at the side telling everybody what to do while he’s waiting to take advantage of their hard work.
I’ve no idea how they made the connection with software projects.
