AThe idea of Scrum was derived from a ''rugby'' approach, in which ''a team tries to go the distance as a unit,
passing the ball back and forth.''

BTakeuchi and Nonaka proposed that product development should be like a sequential relay race.

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.
:
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''.
