• Provided colorful treats each week in Team Room (candy, glasses, mardi-gras beads, spider rings, bubbles, highlighters, post-its…)
• The display/exhibit (even in unfinished state) was excellent tool for program.
• Select colors that you like if graphics are produced early.
• Other Colleagues do not necessarily have the same sense of urgency that you do.
• Locating a teamroom space you can occupy 6 months early was essential for us.
