Reignite your desire to improve
summary
Teams stop improving because habits and a fixed mental model override data; use the COM-B model to diagnose capability, opportunity and motivation, then try concrete interventions: build slack time, run a bug bash (one team found 200 bugs in one day), run pairing/code reviews, add automated checks, practice deliberate katas and time-boxed Pomodoro sessions, apply five whys to root causes, and model new behavior so first followers trigger momentum and the team relearns how to change.
