Visiting the Big Spaceship

The wife and I will be in NY Friday through Sunday for a much needed weekend off. While we’re there, Big Spaceship has agreed to let me stop in and say “Hi”.

If you’re a Lynda.com member, take some time to watch this insightful interview with founder Michael Lebowitz.

Big Spaceship does amazing work, but the thing that really hit me during the video was the way they organize teams - physically in the workspace and organizationally. Everyone is within an arms reach, all essential responsibilities are represented, and if you need privacy just put on your noise canceling headphones. The most productive times we experience around our workplace happen when developers, QA, analysts and managers leave their 4×8 stalls and join forces in a conference room. Unfortunately, this is an emergency procedure instead of a day to day reality. I just want to see it with my own eyes. Even for 30 minutes.

Thank you to Big Spaceship for generously opening your doors to a visitor. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
