Ken worked with Jeff Sutherland to formulate the initial versions of the Scrum development process and to present Scrum as a formal process at OOPSLA"95. They have extended and enhanced Scrum at many software companies and Information Technology organizations. Schwaber and Sutherland are two of the 17 initial signatories of the Agile Manifesto.
They are co-authors of the definitive Scrum Guide, which is made available for free by Scrum.org.
Today Schwaber runs Scrum.org, which provides Scrum resources, training, assessments, and certifications for Scrum Masters, Scrum Developers, Scrum Product Owners, and organizations using Scrum. Schwaber is one of the leaders of the agile software development movement.
