The best systems make progress boring.

Good systems remove drama. When the process is sound, progress arrives in unremarkable increments, no rescues are needed, and there is very little to tell anyone about. That flatness feels like nothing is happening, which is exactly why people abandon systems that are working.

If your progress has become uneventful, take that as a good sign rather than a lack of ambition. The absence of crisis is the achievement, even though nobody applauds it.
