Keys to Success in Using Productivity Environments

Here are the keys to using the Productivity Environments practice successfully:

  • Avoid status-oriented office improvements. Focus on the office characteristics that count, such as privacy, freedom from noise, adequate work surfaces, and an ability to shut out interruptions.

  • Plan the change in office space for a noncritical time in the project. Changing office space between projects is best.

  • Develop a plan to manage the political repercussions of providing developers with private offices.
