Teams are most effective when actionable data is transparent and obvious, ala information radiators. Software build status, current sprint burn down, story and task details, and quality metrics are all needed to guide successful decisions.
A recent Elegant Code screencast prescribed a formula for software wellness focusing on a real time defect management process. A significant element of success for us is a communal kiosk showing the health status of our various software deliverables.
Here are pictures of the kiosk we have built (click for close ups). It is located in the Scrum team area and is available at all times for things like code reviews, daily Scrum standup, story and task details using Team System, and software health metrics. And RoboCode.
All this for under $3,000 per unit and the lava lamps light up when defects move out of tolerance. Build notification for continuous integration is next.
Cool :).
