Antti Tevanlinna helps break the team anti-pattern: “nothing ever changes here”

Teams experiencing that anti-pattern will often complain, be discouraged, but will not take action to change their situation. How to help teams like that? Antti tells us a story of a team that was in that situation and what he and his colleagues did to change the situation and save the project.
