Abstract
We all come up with lots of ideas every day despite varying levels of intelligence, experience, and exposure. Some people believe we might generate tens of thousands of ideas on a daily basis. While most ideas are fun to think about (imagine if we could move things by mere thoughts or if champagne flowed in municipal taps, just like water!), they are usually too impractical, obscure, wild, or outrageous to follow up on. Only a small percentage of ideas are actually worth pursuing.

I haven’t come across anything in Sutherland’s or Schwaber’s literature that suggests they either collaborated with DeGrace and Stahl, or referred to their book. However, I am only referring to the publication dates to refer to the timeline, and by no means implicating that these two ideas are the same or different

Ken Schwaber, co-creator of Scrum, wrote in his 2007 book The Enterprise and Scrum, “ There will be no Scrum Release 2.0 … Why not? Because the point of Scrum is not to solve [specific problems of development] … Scrum unearths the problems caused by the complexity and lets the organization solve them, one by one, over and over again”
