Collaborative aerospace design benefits greatly from face-to-face interaction. co-locating design engineers in the same physical environment helps provide all participants immediate information on how requirements might have changed or, conversely, enables them to question or adapt to changing requirements immediately. Being located in the same physical environment enables each of them to approach and interact with whoever at the moment might have relevant information. the group benefits from having multiple members noting changes and catching errors before they risk compromising other aspects of the project. Continual communication among designers is critical to solving problems, discussing alternatives, and questioning assumptions. Here, the author describes a unique kind of war room environment, located in NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, CA, where engineers work closely together using a variety of computer technologies, including networked computers and public displays. She calls this type of design activity "extreme collaboration" to emphasize working in an enclosed electronic and social environment to maximize communication and information flow.
