First use of term "Scrum" apparently not in software development, but in article on new product development:

[Takeuchi, H. and Nonaka, I.(1986). The New Product Development Game.  Harvard Business Review,  Jan.-Feb.:137-146]

Three phases:

-Pre-game

• Architecture- develop Backlog list
• High-level design- address open questions in Backlog list

-Development (Game)

-Post-game

• Closure of questions

Iterations called "Sprints"

Anything new here? (Much of this better articulated elsewhere)
