As Agile becomes better known, many troubled teams are deciding to adopt Agile practices to help fix their problems. Most clients seeking our help in Agile adoption want to start by pursuing process and tools. The more dysfunctional their teams, the less tolerance they have for focusing on individuals and their interactions. We have found that the most effective teams- those that show a tremendous improvement in productivity and value to their organizations - have individual team members who take ownership, act responsibly, and are disciplined in recognizing and responding to change at a personal level. These individuals adopt Agile practices because they have made a conscious decision to do so. They do what it takes to make things work. In this article we suggest that a team that has individual members that freely commit to the way they work and then take personal responsibility are able to adopt Agile practices that significantly improve their productivity and increase the value they give the organization.
