Meeting Abstract: |
The Business Value of Pair Programming
After ten years in the public eye, "Pair Programming" is still one of the most controversial and contentious of all agile programming practices. Appropriately, managers are concerned about the costs, and developers are concerned about the personal pain. In this seminar, we will expose some of the subtle yet high-dividend benefits of this discipline, and dispel lingering myths. Topics have been limited to those that provide clear and significant value to the organization, the team, and the individual (in other words, they are all "Win-Win"). After this seminar, you will feel better equipped to weigh the costs, benefits, and ROI of pair programming, and to decide whether or not it is valuable to your whole team. |
