Mob Programming: A Whole Team Approach

Teamwork is an important component of agile software development. We all agree that teamwork must be nurtured and grown in our organizations. But what does it mean to work as a team in the world of software development? How can we encourage our “teams” to truly work “as a team?” Woody Zuill and his team at Hunter Industries have found tremendous benefits following the whole team approach they call Mob Programming. Everyone works together at the same time, in the same space, on the same problem, and at the computer—every day, eight hours a day! How can this possibly work? Woody explores the whole team concept and shows the specific practices his team uses for communication, collaboration, coding, and accelerated learning in their daily software development work. Learn how Woody and his team discovered this highly productive practice, see what it looks like, and take home some ideas you can use in to your software development work.
