Minimum disruption

AIDRA works on the principle of minimum disruption, which reduces the amount of change to each team's allocated space each day, so teams are provided with continuity and familiarity when they're in the office.

With minimum disruption, AIDRA will achieve the best solution possible, and move the minimum number of people. Several factors impact this:

• How much space other teams in that area/on that floor need on that day

• Where each team has been historically located (which also considers anchor/gravity points)

• Links with connected teams (please note that superlinks are stronger than standard links therefore weighted heavier - so teams that have standard links with other teams on the floor are more likely to move than those with superlinks)

• Flexibility of the team ie, teams that are set as Free are more likely to move to another floor than teams that are set as Flex

• What space is available in other locations with minimum disruption to other teams in that location

Generally, teams will be kept in the same zone/area. If there is less demand for space a team is likely to be in approximately the same space each time ie, on Friday teams are generally in the same place each week as there are fewer people in the office. If a team is moved to another floor, AIDRA will select the floor closest to the team's usual floor, that has space and will disrupt the fewest people.

As AIDRA moves the minimum number of people, smaller teams may experience more disruption than larger teams.

Please note that if AIDRA has allocated a team to another floor previously due to lack of space, it is more likely that they will be moved to that floor over other teams when there is not enough space. This is due to the history of that team.
