Shu Ha Ri in LeSS

Shu Ha Ri is a concept in Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) that describes the three stages of learning and mastery in agile practices. Each stage represents a different level of understanding and capability in implementing agile principles:

  1. Shu (守) - Follow: In the first stage, individuals or teams follow the rules and practices as prescribed without deviation. They focus on learning the basic principles and techniques of agile practices.

  2. Ha (破) - Detach: In the second stage, individuals or teams start to deviate from the prescribed rules and practices. They experiment and adapt the agile principles to better suit their unique situation. This stage involves breaking free from rigid adherence to the rules.

  3. Ri (離) - Transcend: In the third stage, individuals or teams internalize the agile principles to the extent that they no longer need to consciously think about them. They have transcended the need for explicit rules and can naturally apply agile principles in a fluid and adaptive manner.

By understanding and embracing the concept of Shu Ha Ri, teams can progress through the stages of learning and achieve a higher level of agility and effectiveness in their software development practices.
