Cultivate a wide range of interests

September 6, 2011 · No Comments

Musashi's third rule for learning the art:

"Cultivate a wide range of interests in the ten skills and ten arts. Then one can definitely find the benefits of hyoho and develop oneself."

Agile practitioners need to be able to wear many hats. This isn't just true for programming languages, frameworks and tools; it's also true of all the other roles within the Agile team. One day you may need to run a retospective; another you might need to be a BA or a tester. Each of these roles requires a different mindset and proficiency in all of them makes you a better designer when it comes to cutting code.

Remeber, all the patters, algorithms and other stuff you did in your degree is science. The Agile part is an art.
