ABSTRACT

To some extent, it almost seems extreme to be talking about modifying your facilities in order to introduce a software development method. However, as has been and will be stated several times in this book, agile development focuses on people producing software that satisfy customer needs. In order to create the best environment we can to support effective software development, we have to change much of the thinking of the past that puts software developers alone or in pairs into offices and cubicles (refer to Figure 14.1).
