(Did you see http://www.halfarsedagilemanifesto.org ?)

Another major reason for wildly fluctuating velocity is oversized user stories that limp, half done, from sprint to sprint. All the good technical practices in the world won’t give you a regular velocity if your stories can’t be delivered within the sprint.

Glad you raise the point that starting TDD will result in a down-turn in output. In fact, the same will have happened when they first started Scrum – if only they could remember that far back.
