Microsoft patterns & practices Team Space

in Agile, Leadership, and Management - 0

Many people ask me about team spaces and how to set them up. Not long ago, colleagues Ade Miller and Ajoy Krishnamoorthy did a walkthrough of the Microsoft patterns & practices space - it is built around agile teams. When watching this video, consider that this team started out in a two person office with 6+ people crammed in it. From there, they began booking conference rooms, one room per team member per day. They were told they could not do this, so they got creative and started booking random times to ensure the conference rooms (aka team space) were always available. This went on for a couple of years before facilities asked what they needed to stop the madness. This video shows you the end result of a team room.
