Once Upon a Time in Agile
summary
Traces a concrete method for shifting teams from borrowed practices to owned processes: replace imposed frameworks with a simple whiteboard do doing done, use Jira sparingly, add magnets for ownership and a tiny change like a demoed / not demoed column. Cites diffusion numbers (2.5% innovators, 13.5% early adopters) to explain resistance. Reports outcomes: repeated small experiments increase investment, reduce cognitive dissonance, restore flow, and a sold-out workshop two years later confirms the approach scales.
