In a reformulation of the work environment, where 10 programmers work, there is some study/article where demonstrates and explains the best layout for table layout coupled with increased productivity of programming work?

    If the team is nimble, change the layout of the tables all week and measure productivity. </just-Kidding>

    I don’t know about layout, but there’s some research, if I’m not mistaken about Marco on the productivity between calm ambiences and barrulhentos. In the book of XP of Kent Beck he talks about having collective and private spaces in the office and in the code complete maconell has something to do. Try to refine the question a little more, it seems valid to me.

    I haven’t read it all, but I believe at least one chapter of the infamous book Peopleware talk a little bit about it. I remember at least him talking about the layout of an office and the layout of the tables. The boss had decided that no one could have a table in the window, since there was no window for everyone. Another item considered is the location of the elevator in order to prevent people from being distracted by who enters and leaves. In the end, it’s more a matter of common sense than a rule.

    From my point of view, the best layout is what generates the most interaction between team members. As in sports, the more connected everyone is, the better the performance.

    I consider this question outside the scope of the site. The list of topics we have in the goal seems to agree: http://meta.pt.stackoverflow.com/a/272. The record is that this is my opinion, the exact rules are not yet clear.

  • I remember Joel’s blog where he makes it clear that the ideal environment is one where everyone feels comfortable. Everyone. If you force a person to behave in a certain way, you discourage them individually. And that’s not what Joel invented. He just put it to everyone in the area to remember that. This is almost as old as the invention of modern administration (which is no longer so modern).

  • Dude, this is a programming site, not an architect or a cabinet maker....

It probably exists, but I want to leave my opinion based on experience.

Do without "cabins/stalls", a straight table with one side of the other

Just like here where I work is a good option, you can ask the guy next door for help just by looking the other way.

Well, my opinion, doesn’t mean it’s the best way.

Here in the company where I work they use a bench layout on each other, so the cooperation and integration between their programmers would be more agile
