My experience is that a good team does a good job. A bad team doesn’t.
I think the focus on methodologies is to get a good result from an uneven team. Companies desperately want to treat programmers like standardized workers that can be mixed and matched as needed. The siren song of the methodology is that maybe it can achieve that goal. I have never seen this work in practice.
There are no quick fixes. People can improve but it takes time, dedication, and support.
