            Abstract : 
This paper describes different approaches to successfully conquering complacency and ruts in agile practice. It relates how a team on a slide, that was drifting away from the "spirit" of agile, changed itself to a "wow" team by seeing every problem as an opportunity, converting small thoughts into great ideas and finding innovative solutions for problems.
