Abstract :
We present TeamSpace, a collaborative workspace system to support the articulation work of high performance development teams. TeamSpace distinguishes between individual, social, and meeting work modes, and facilitates transitions between modes. The system provides a shared workspace that supports understanding and reporting the team´s past progress and activities. Awareness of current team activities is supported by a place-based representation of team members´ work modes and by a multimedia awareness and communication tool facilitating intentional and serendipitous interactions
