During Episode 13 of The Board we looked at some of the challenges faced by new Agile/Scrum teams as well as more experienced ones. We put this in context using Shu Ha and Ri, a description of different learning stages taken from Aikido (the Japanese Martial Art) and applied to Agile methods by Alistair Cockburn.
We also discussed the Agile Coach’s part in the learning process and some of the different techniques a coach can use at each of the Shu Ha Ri stages.
