Pair programming

Objectives

The pair programming sessions objectives are:

• To share information around developers and doing so avoid silos
• To increase the community feeling

Working together will help us learn, improve and understand other developers better no matter our pair level.

How it works

On Monday, we assign pairs randomly. The developers are informed of their common interests/skills. If we have odd number of developers they could work in trios.

The developers are the responsible to schedule a session that week on whatever time fits them best. The pair program time is around 1h.

Activities on the pair program session by preference: a) Work on a project b) One developer teaches the other something (related interest skills) c) Show/demo a project or part of it and ask for feedback d) Catch up or talk about frontend issues

At the end of the session or just afterwards the developers should write a brief summary of what they have done. This is shared with the group to improve the process and improve the knowledge base
