Thanks for this post. I agree wholeheartedly. A lot more effort has to be put into the 'learning your process' part. The problem is that this requires self-reflective and humble individuals who are willing to work on improving their skills. I see far too many who are not willing to improve and learn, and most of these individuals lurk at big companies. Such an individual sees only imposed constraints in the methodology, and no possibilities. Since these passive individuals are easy to control, management has formed as a constraint-imposer and controller above them. Introduce a new methodology, and the workers will only (rightfully) complain while the management translates it into control constraints. So the problem lies not within the process, but the individuals. Start with improving the attitude, then let the team members bring in useful parts from methodologies as tools to reach the goals you have set together.
