Room, Walls, Whiteboards

• People will be organized into separate Scrum teams at separate tables, so we need a table for each team in the Product Backlog Refinement (PBR) workshop.

• Don’t make it a crowded room; there are some activities that may involve the teams moving around.

• There may be wall activities involving whiteboards, flip chart paper, and PostIt Note layouts; so each team needs some unencumbered clear wall space for this. To be clear: There must be lots of clear empty wall space, and we must be able to use the walls, and put things on the walls.

Table Layout

• Round tables are ideal, but we can live with rectangular layouts

• Tables should not be against the walls; we are using the walls as a main working area in this course.

• Distribute the tables throughout the room

Computers, Projectors, Software and Networking

• Internet access for the coach and teams

• 1 projector for each team; they may be able to project directly onto a white wall, so we probably don't need projector screens
