The situation described here looks to me like a team drowning in technical, product oriented difficulties that prevent anyone from having the available bandwidth to introduce new methodologies because of the chaos that doing this on the run would ( or would be perceived to ) introduce. In my experience, engineers need the headspace to learn new tools in a non impacting situation, which usually requires the introduction of low risk side projects to learn the new tools and techniques. In a way, this is actually a staffing / time related issue.
