“velvet rut” describes operational practice in a network that hasn’t changed in along time. Typically, some action that is done that way “because it’s always done that way”. Because it works and the world is a happy place therefore the practice must be a good one.
Being stuck in a rut is no excuse for not changing, but good practices can be worth keeping – and are described as ‘the velvet rut’.
