The document discusses creating a new Agile workspace for over 500 people in Richmond to enable collaboration, self-organization, and being close to customers. Feedback from engineering staff identified three priorities: enabling collaboration, reinforcing Agile & elasticity, and encouraging innovation. The workspace was designed with agile walls, standup desks, meeting rooms, and team areas based on experiments. Changes were made based on customer feedback after moving in, such as adding noise dampening, showers, walls, desks, and bike storage. The document advocates learning from leaders, listening to customers, running experiments without permanently installing anything, and carefully considering technology integration into the office.

@benross50
@benross50 Customer collaboration (over contract negotiation) Requirements cannot be fully collected at the beginning of the software development cycle, therefore continuous customer or stakeholder involvement is very important. In GW, as soon as we moved in, we made changes on the fly: Noise dampening Extra showers More walls More standup desks Bike storage,..
