Brian Marick recently blogged about power steering in reference to that old XP metaphor of the Customer driving the project like a person driving a car. He says: When you drive, you don't think about the steering wheel, you simply think about turning the car, and it turns. But when the power steering goes out, what was once a simple reflex is now a conscious act.

In our new office, we're colocated with our Product Owners, our Product Sponsor, and our customer. The opportunity to be colocated to this degree doesn't happen often. It's usually obstructed by silly reasons such as office politics, silos and hierarchy, or part-time team members from the business side having to be located elsewhere. Our thanks go to our client for recognising the benefits of colocation and for wanting to do things properly. Everyone is buzzing about the approach we're using and I'm excited about facilitatating power steering to achieve continuously improving levels of customer collaboration and feedback and value flow to our customer.
