Special Guest Event - Mark Pearl on Mob Programming

Mark Pearl will be visiting us from Auckland, New Zealand to present a session on Mob Programming. Intrigued?

What is Mob Programming?

It is a new software development technique where a group of people work at one computer solving one problem. It accentuates face-to-face communication, team alignment, collaboration, collective code ownership and flow to name a few. The outcome of Mob Programming is outstanding software produced by teams, this includes:

· Fewer defects
· Increased flow
· Reduced key man dependencies
· Increased learning
· Better code
· More fun

Mark will cover the benefits, techniques they have used, and some of the challenges they’ve faced while applying Mob Programming as their primary development technique for the last few years.
