In the Agile community, a war room refers to a team room where developers work, customer meetings take place, and all projected related information is displayed. It is supposed to maximize communication and transparency into the health of the project.

I think one sign of a healthy agile project is evidence of some good fun. These are pictures taken from a war room at the bank where I am currently wrapping up my near six year tenure. These guys have obviously taken the war room to a whole new level.

Update: It turns out that this was a clever prank by Rob. He explains the context in his blog post. Knowing the team, which does like to have fun, I am guessing that they will keep their new little green team members as a permanent fixture of their war room.
