			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reading <a href="http://blog.mattwynne.net/2009/11/24/advantages-of-limiting-your-wip/">this</a> post from Matt Wynne today (<a href="http://twitter.com/mattwynne/status/6016197496">via Twitter</a>), the thing that I found most inspiring was this sentence: &#8220;As a coach, I like to introduce new practices only when I can offer them as a solution to a problem that the team has identified for themselves.&#8221;</p>

<p>Not only does the team have a strong feeling of being responsible (they are!) for the way things are done in the team (i.e. if we don&#8217;t do it, nobody is going to) &#8211; but having the problem defined by the whole team and the solution agreed by the whole team increases highly the chances of successfully solving the original problem.</p>
