Organizations often fail at transformation by renaming roles and processes without addressing root causes of dysfunction. Superficial changes like calling teams 'squads' or meetings 'sprint planning' don't improve outcomes. Real change requires identifying and fixing underlying mechanisms: reducing friction to enable smaller releases, shortening lead times to prevent hoarding, building trust to enable reuse, and using data instead of promises for decisions. Understanding cause-and-effect relationships reveals that behaviors like long requirement lists stem from systems that punish late changes, while high utilization paradoxically reduces throughput.
