Scrum, in its more general definition, is a simple framework to help us address complex challenges. Product development is the subset of complex problem domains where Scrum took root first; by explicitly acknowledging software and new product development to be complex work, serving to deliver complex products in complex circumstances.

Maintaining a Command-and-Control Culture We have been transitioning from an industrial to a knowledge economy for over 60 years. Despite this shift, many organizations are stuck in the top-down, command-and-control culture associated with Frederick Winslow Taylor and Henry Ford. Giving up control and trusting the team is hard.
