Pair Programming: mis-understood, under-appreciated, and under-utilized

Pair programming, or even more generally pairing, is often misunderstood and rejected without consideration or understanding of the immense benefits it brings to a team and organization. Management will often react with “Why am I paying for two resources to do the work of one?” We will discuss how to address management and individual resistance to pairing by discussing the immense benefits pairing can bring to an Agile team. If your team is suffering from resources constraints, limited domain knowledge, low productivity, or simply completing your stories within the Iteration, don't miss this web seminar. We will discuss how this works for developers, testers, business analysts, and more. We will discuss how pairing can help to solve these impediments and get your team and project back on track.
