Every team should be paying attention to the delays in their feedback loops. Keeping time to production under 5 minutes. Running all programmer tests in a matter of seconds.

If you’re struggling with how to get to tidy code, fast feedback loops, joyful work. How to get permission, or buy-in. Try team habits.
Create working agreements of the form “When we see <observable trigger>, instead of <what we currently do> we will <virtuous action>”. This is a mechanism to pre-approve the desired action.

I think TDD can be a hack for escaping bureaucracies.
Rather than incurring the bureaucratic friction of asking for permission to do the right things each time, we pre-commit/agree to "healthy habits".
