The presentation of Scrum at the OOPSLA Conference in 1995 was a pivotal moment for its development. Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland shared their insights and formalised their work, providing a structured definition of Scrum for the first time. This presentation helped to disseminate the ideas behind Scrum more widely, encouraging more people to adopt and Experiment with the framework.
Following the conference, the interest in Scrum grew significantly. As more people started using it, the need for a consistent and clear definition became evident. This led to Schwaber and Sutherland collaborating on the Scrum Guide, which was first published in 2010 to address the growing confusion about what Scrum entailed.
