Problem to solve: Multitasking that reduces productivity, introduces errors and frustrations

Problem: Many studies,[1][2][3][4][5] literature,[6] articles[7][8][9] and worldwide consulting firms,[10] including recent ones from Louisiana State University psychology Professor Emily Elliott[1] stresses the fact that multitasking of any kind reduces the productivity and/or increases rate of errors, thus generates unnecessary frustrations.

It has been estimated that $650 billion[11] a year is wasted in US businesses due to multitasking.

Solution: ScrumPlop addresses this issue using the "first-things-first" Scrum pattern, when the context of the problem is summarized, and references and studies that justifies the solution are given.
