Question 1

Which one of the following statements about the history of Scrum is NOT correct?

AThe idea of Scrum was derived from a ''rugby'' approach, in which ''a team tries to go the distance as a unit,

CScrum was based on a flexible and all-inclusive product development strategy where the development
team works as a unit to reach a common goal.

DTakeuchi and Nonaka based their approach on manufacturing case studies from various industries.

Answer : B

Takeuchi and Nonaka proposed that product development should not be like a sequential relay race, but

rather should be analogous to the game of rugby where the team works together, passing the ball back and

forth as they move as a unit down the field. The rugby concept of a ''Scrum'' (where a group of players form

together to restart the game) was introduced in this article to describe the authors' proposal that product

development should involve ''moving the Scrum downfield''.
