Work is done across departments, in cross-functional teams.
All those who can contribute to the success of the product, e.g. company organization, IT, market management, or sales, sit in one room.
They form the agile team.
Co-location ensures lean coordination processes as well as speed and quality.
Co-location also means: You are moving.
The teams move into a room and work focused together on their product.
There are no phones, no other projects, and no outside distractions.
They use collaboration tools such as chats, wikis, and Scrum boards.
Scrum teams are wholly focused on their product.
People check three times a day their emails; otherwise the email client is closed and inactive.
All phones have voicemail.
