Highsmith|publisher=Addison-Wesley Professional|year=2002|isbn=9780201760439|pages=105}}</ref> Later, he coined the term "Enterprise Scrum," developed his ideas into a canvas-based approach, and promoted Enterprise Scrum as a framework for scaling the practices and benefits of Scrum across entire organizations. ==Agile Manifesto== In 2001, Beedle was one of the seventeen people who created and signed the Manifesto for [[Agile software development|Agile]] Software Development. He had been invited by [[Martin Fowler (software engineer)|Martin Fowler]] and [[Robert C. Martin]] because of his involvement in the early adoption of Scrum<ref>{{cite web|last1=Beedle|first1=Mike|title=Mike Beedle contribution to the Agile community|url=https://www.infoq.com/news/2018/03/mike-beedle}}</ref> and the organizational pattern community. Beedle was one of the first to follow in implementing Scrum after [[Jeff Sutherland]] and [[Ken Schwaber]] and collaborated on writing the Scrum Patterns article, which was the second published paper on Scrum.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Beedle|first1=Mike|title=Mike Beedle, first Paper about Scrum|url=http://jeffsutherland.org/scrum/scrum_plop.pdf}}</ref> The Agile Uprising podcast has published an interview with Beedle from Snowbird ski resort, where he collaborated on the creation of the Agile Manifesto. Beedle recalled that he had proposed the term "agile," which ultimately filtered through a process of selection with the other signatories: "I can tell you I came up with that word ([[Agile software development|Agile]]) because I was familiar with the book ''Agile Competitors and Virtual Organizations''. We had proposed Adaptive, Essential, lean, and Lightweight. We did not want to use Adaptive because Jim Highsmith had given this to one of his works. Essential sounded overly proud. Lean had already been taken. Nobody wanted to be a lightweight. We did this late in the second day, and it took only a few minutes to decide on this."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Beedle|first1=Mike|title=Mike Beedle proposed Agile name|url=http://podcast.agileuprising.com/tribute-to-mike-beedle-agile-manifesto-signer/}}</ref> ==Scrum== He became an early adopter of Scrum, playing a pivotal role in advancing the framework's evolution. He not only implemented it within his own companies but also provided guidance to other organizations on its adoption. The main idea behind Scrum was to create a team that would resemble artificial life, a robot, or an adaptive system that would adapt and learn through "social intelligence." Mike Beedle had a PhD in Physics, and his master's thesis was about chaotic and [[Nonlinear system|non-linear systems]]. Joining these two concepts was what allowed [[Ken Schwaber]], Jeff Sutherland, and Mike Beedle to point out "creating a team at the edge of chaos". Both directions pointed to the same end game: creating a hyper-productive team that worked as an adaptive system at the edge of chaos through patterns. In 2001, Beedle worked with [[Ken Schwaber]] to describe the method in the book ''[[Agile software development|Agile]] Software Development with Scrum''.<ref>{{cite book|last1= Schwaber|first1= Ken|author-link1= Ken Schwaber|last2= Beedle|first2= Mike|title= Agile software development with Scrum|year= 2002|publisher= Prentice Hall|isbn= 0-13-067634-9 }}</ref> Scrum's approach to planning and managing product development involves bringing [[decision-making]] authority to the level of operation properties and certainties.<ref name="schwaber">{{cite book|title= Agile Project Management with Scrum|url= https://archive.org/details/agileprojectmana0000schw|url-access= registration|last= Schwaber|first= Ken|author-link= Ken Schwaber|publisher= [[Microsoft Press]]|isbn= 978-0-7356-1993-7|date= February 1, 2004 }} </ref> ==Contributions to Agile and Scrum Worlds== {{peacock|section|date=October 2018}} His ideas about how to optimize a team in front of chaos evolved from his personal research at University, later contributed to the Agile Manifesto conception, and during his entire professional life continuously evolved and improved Agile approaches to the entire organization, and sharing all this knowledge around the World by participating in Agile events.
