Leading software developers have found that
two coders working together on one system
(often with two keyboards and mice) are more
productive than working individually. But
how, you ask, can a project afford to use two
expensive resources like that? Because they
deliver better product faster and enjoy the
work environment more, according to those who
do it. Why does it work? Focus,
communication, interplay of perspectives, and
synergy. And, by pairing with different
coders, a project leader can assess, develop,
and coach team members in real time. Want to
know more? Search for books and sites related
to agile software development, extreme
programming (XP), SCRUM, or iterative,
adaptive, and evolutionary software
development practices.
