Mobbing for Business Value

Jason Hobbs and Skylar Watson share their experiences with mobbing and pair programming from the perspectives of an organizational leader and a practitioner. Their goal is to get leadership more comfortable with the idea of mob programming and reducing work in progress (WIP) to one task. The common misconception about pairing, according to Hobbs and Watson, is that "people think it's just two guys with one shovel". The pair shares their journey of mob-programming being an uncomfortable idea to having leadership support. Accenture | SolutionsIQ's Leslie Morse hosts at Southern Fried Agile 2019 in Charlotte, NC.
