In my experience you wouldn't be able to see your LCD screen if it's sunny outside. Have LCDs improved since I last tried this?

wow... I can't help but point out the obvious: laptops and VM's. I can work effectively from my laptop from a coffee shop using a simple Remote Desktop solution. You can use "GoToMyPC" to collaborate on one screen even when you're not in the same zipcode. Obviously, to be truly productive, you'd need your "work space" but that doesn't necessarily mean you need to move the whole desk. I bet you have all your stories in digital format (VersionOne?) so you won't need to move the physical cards. I'd say a good, strong wireless and some outdoor power and you should be pretty much set. The most effective desk configuration for agile development is a simple 4x8 table with two programmers per keyboard. I'd skip the rolling desk and get a nice, large rolling cart instead (that way, should it rain, you can get everything inside the cart quickly). Replace your desktops with laptops and a good, powerful VM server. Get some comfortable chairs that can be hosed off and don't forget about a dozen hacky sacks (they wear out fast)
