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
driver big screen navigator/ observers flip chart Typical setup
BIG screens http://www.chrislucian.com/2016/05/mob-programming-q.html
Anti-pattern http://www.full-stackagile.com/2016/07/28/mob-programming-what-is-it/

computer it must go through someone else’s hands — Llewellyn Falco
Driver: follows instructions from navigator (smart input device) Navigator: Solves
current problem Observer: Thinks about what to do next driver navigator observer
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

How can 5 people be productive working on the same
computer?
How about asking another question…
(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
experiment Learn to work well together There is no “one right way” Frequent retrospectives
— Woody The people doing the work can best determine
how to do that work Summary of why
