Jeff Home works with Dan Nye through their company, Coedit. They're 2 of the best Web developers I've worked with and they're an important part of what's become the Energized Crew for a few years now. Jeff and Dan are working with us in a team at one of our larger clients.


Effective pairing mindmap
Originally uploaded by sjb140470
Jeff sent me this write-up on their last retrospective, which focused on what makes an effective pairing session:
We broke into groups of 3 or 4 and made our posters to present back to the team. This mind-map poster (one of the teams had created it as their poster) was used as the base to include other team suggestions, leading to a team-accepted definition of what makes an effective pairing session.

All the teams shared a very close vision and all the presentations were very similar. Obviously there was a very clear understanding within the team of what makes an effective pairing session. This retrospective served to show our new starters what we expect of one another as well as remind us all of what is expected of us when we are pairing with one another.
Here's another write-up of a similar retrospective run with a different team.
