Mob programming workshop, Singapore, Nov 2017
— Woody All the brilliant minds working on the same
thing… at the same time… in the same space… on the same computer… What is Mob programming? Woody Zuill
How does it look in practice?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_pvslS4gEI
https://devblog.xero.com/mobprogramming-xp-34d1a8c99a9d Big table Big screen One keyboard
http://benjiweber.co.uk/blog/2014/11/30/the-unruly-mob/ Two screens One keyboard

Rotation: - time-box - task driver navigator observer
Summary of Driver/Navigator/Observer Driver == “smart input device” Navigator and
observer: solve the problem Separation of cognitive load Discipline and respect for all ideas

(slides from Woody’s workshop) Most of those disappear when the
team works together most of the time.
Key benefits Team jelling Focus & flow Code and product
quality Continuous learning
How to get started? Must be voluntary Team’s decision to

— Woody The people doing the work can best determine
how to do that work Summary of why
