Bullpen

In a recent post about our iteration zero I said that we were waiting for permission to construct a team bullpen. Well, here it is. It's conducive to osmotic communication and pair-programming, and it has enough room for team huddles and the daily stand-up around the planning board.

Hi Simon,

I think that the layout of the work space is one of the most under rated factors. In my experience it can make a real big difference.

Osmotics work!

BTW. have you tried having everyone around a big island? We effectively had a big table with pairs sitting around it, and everyone facing each other.

We then forced to move to two small islands a few feet apart, when we changed offices, and you could tell the difference straight away.

The big island with everyone at the same table worked well for us.


Paul.
