Pair Programming

Two developers working on code collaboratively.

Pair programming involves two programmers sharing a single workstation (one screen, keyboard and mouse among the pair). The programmer at the keyboard is usually called the "driver", the other, also actively involved in the programming task but focusing more on overall direction is the "navigator"; it is expected that the programmers swap roles every few minutes or so.

Concepts covered: Increased Team Bonding, Pair Switching, Communication, Collective Code Ownership, Reduced Distractions, Driver and Navigator Role, Constant Feedback, Code Review, Increased Concentration, Continuous Learning, Shared Understanding, Risk Mitigation, Code Readability, Knowledge Sharing
