**Historical article** · Originally published April 15, 2005; technical details may be outdated.

This is a nice overview and actual pictures from a team room environment working with XP.

Check it out at:  [An XP Team Room](http://www.scissor.com/resources/teamroom/)

"_Many newcomers to_ [_Extreme Programming_](http://www.extremeprogramming.org/) _wonder what a team room looks like. (For those unfamiliar with Extreme Programming, at the end of the article you will find a_ [_quick explanation_](http://www.scissor.com/resources/teamroom/#glossary) _of the XP terms that I use.) Here are photos and a description of a team room from a 9-month, 5-person project"_
