Explanation

Information radiators - like Kanban boards, burndown charts, and sprint backlogs - are a core Agile principle: making work visible to the entire team at a glance. A well-designed Agile workspace must have enough wall or display space to host these large, publicly visible artifacts so any team member or stakeholder can instantly assess project status.

Why A is wrong: Agile promotes collaboration and open communication, not silence. Quiet isolation runs counter to the co-located, high-bandwidth communication that Agile teams rely on.

Why C is wrong: Agile workspaces are optimized for the team, not individuals. Personalized workstations suggest fixed, siloed desk assignments, whereas Agile spaces are typically flexible and shared to encourage pairing and collaboration.

Memory tip: Think of information radiators as the "heartbeat" of the team - the workspace must be designed to keep that heartbeat visible. If the room can't "radiate" information, it's not Agile-ready.
