Scrum Secret #1 - take the furniture out of the office

Having your daily scrum stand-up in a dev team “scrum room”  has its advantages.

You can be more honest and talk more openly, have robust discussions and generally not have to worry about being overheard, as well as use of a whiteboard for planning sessions and nutting things out.

In our experience, dev teams tend to lose their office first, as competing business teams and managers are almost always deamed to be more “important” than the dev team.

So we have some simple psychology for keeping your scrum room - take out the furntiure. That’s right - have the office empty, no desks, no computers, nada. Even better, put in a couple of empty computer boxes in there for effect.

We are currently working in a very busy office, yet we have kept our scrum room for several months so far, and no one has challenged our use of the room, yet in the adjoining office we have seen a rotatiing door of occupants come and go.

Stay tuned for more scrum secrets.
