Agile: The mastery of Shu Ha Ri (todo)

The concept of Shu Ha Ri is a very important concept in the world of Agile. It has its roots in Japanese Martial Arts.

Shu — Follow the rules

The Shu stage is to get the basics.

In the case of Martial Arts, students follow the teacher’s instructions and repeat the practices over and over again.

With time, these gestures become natural.

Applied to Scrum, this corresponds to the way Sprint Planning is done and the way User Stories are written.
