Growing up I enjoyed playing sports. I played little league baseball as well as basketball, tennis, golf and volleyball. In those sports I had very different experiences learning each one and looking back I see how those experiences apply to the world of agile coaching.

A new day

"Agile - day by day" is simply a place to talk about practical ways of applying lean and agile principles and practices for individuals, teams and organizations. What I see in the work I do to help teams move to agile approaches, typically with a mix of Scrum and XP, will be the primary source for my blog entries. However, looking to other areas & other fields, will also yield interesting and useful information we can  apply in our agile world.

The first few blogs will be based on what it takes to become good at something in general and how those same ideas apply to learning agile principles & practices. An initial look at how students learn to play a sport or a musical instrument will show the keys to learning anything new.
