You've got to make the developers (and others in the team) want to adopt the technique, otherwise the adoption will fail. I believe this is an issue of leadership, as well as an issue of adopting techniques for the wrong reasons (i.e. pushing new techniques into an environment, instead of pulling them based on need and value).
