The IKEA effect beautifully illustrates why Agile teams thrive when they’re involved in shaping the work they do. In Agile, team members don’t just build—they co-create. From collaborating with the Product Manager to prioritize the backlog, to jointly designing solutions, agreeing on the implementation approach, and estimating effort— shared ownership taps into the same psychology: we naturally value what we help build.

So true! This approach isn't helpful only for UXR!
