16 elevator pitches for scrum as a contribution to @boeffi's compilation

As an answer to a recent query for scrum elevator pitches on twitter from @boeffi (Who also runs German blog on software development) I asked myself (and him subsequently) a couple of questions regarding the setting and desired result to target the 140 character accordingly...
Unfortunately (for me) his answer was "All of them".
Please join the discussion at his site

Challenge accepted!

Given that I asked about four dimensions I think 16 "pitches" of less-than-140 characters will do for starters...

In my opinion there is no such thing as one right elevator pitch for anything - it's all about the context.
