Something I've seen that was quite successful ...
1. During the hiring process, the company made it quite clear that Extreme=
 Programming, including Pair Programming and the other practices was mandat=
ory.
2. In the team's room, there are half as many machines as developers. "You=
 work it out." says the boss.=C2=A0 (And you're kind of strongly expected t=
o do "pair programming" of some kind. And if people quit, an appropriate nu=
mber of machines will be removed.)

Actually...=C2=A0 It worked quite well.

The teams were enabled and empowered to change the process as they saw fit=
.=C2=A0 ... within "reasonable" bounds.

Some did kanban boards.=C2=A0 Some did big visible charts.=C2=A0 Some had =
timers to signal pair switching.

People knew before being hired what they were signing up for.=C2=A0 And th=
en we did it.
