Pair programming-agile2012
The document discusses strategies for effective pair programming. It notes that pairing helps bring novices up to speed, shares knowledge, produces higher quality code faster, and reduces errors. However, pairing is challenging because it requires more work, can be difficult with less experienced developers or those zoning out, and when rapid work is needed or individual focus is required. The document provides tips for making pairing work better such as focusing on the code, arguing briefly then moving on, letting wrong solutions prove themselves, and developing trust and teamwork over time.
