The Art of Agile Development: Informative Workspace

by James Shore

19 Mar, 2008

in 99 words

An informative workspace is about information and accessibility. Surround yourself with information. Pay attention to the mood and buzz in the room. Create big charts and plans that graphically show your progress.

Use hand-drawn charts, posted prominently, to ensure that information is constantly visible and easily modified. Don't let a spreadsheet or project management tool constrain what you can track.

Beware of gaming. To prevent it, discuss charts as a team. Review their use often and take them down after a few iterations. Don't report workspace charts outside of the team and never use them in performance evaluations.

Little plastic nubs...
tiny green leaves; together,
meaning in the dirt
