A software development company wants to reorganize its office so that managers and the Computer Programmers they supervise can better collaborate. How should they rearrange the workplace?

The best arrangement is having an open work space with desks

Explanation:

To ensure easier collaboration between members of staff one of the best ways to arrange the office is to have each staff who needs to collaborate with other staffs have their work desk/table placed in an open work space with other staffs.

The traditional seating positions in most workplaces are with the use of office cubicles and this prevent the direct view/supervision of what a programmer or a manager is doing at work at every given instant. although there are better ways to monitor staffs but have a good seating arrangement is one of the basic ways to achieve this.

Perhaps instead of cubicles, desks are organized in an open workspace which promotes collaboration (and makes it easier).
