Jobscrum can be looked at as an application of the wisdom of crowds concept, in which the knowledge and talents of a group of people is leveraged to create content and solve problems.
The "wisdom of crowds" is a popular web 2.0 buzzword, popularized by James Surowiecki's book of the same name. At its most basic, the term means that two heads are better than one, and that still more heads will yield even better results.
Do you remember that scene from "A Beautiful Mind", where John Nash is sitting in a bar with some of his collegues?
"If we all go for the blonde and block each other, not a single one of us is going to get her. So then we go for her friends, but they will all give us the cold shoulder because no on likes to be second choice. But what if none of us goes for the blonde? We won't get in each other's way and we won't insult the other girls. It's the only way to win. It's the only way we all get laid."
Job Scrum is a revolutionary way to solve what is normally a conflict scenario, or as John Nash said "..if I derive an equilibrium where prevalence is a non-singular event where nobody loses, can you imagine the effect that would have on conflict scenarios..."?
