What did you see?
How often did we switch ”driver”? Effects of pairing? What did the ”non-driver” do? How do you expect it to be different?
What do you think? Pairing two seniors? Pairing two juniors? Pairing senior and talent? Pairing senior and junior?
What did you see? Was the step size right? What was the first test? How did we decide next test? What was the final test?
What did you see? Did we refactor the right amount? How long was the code red? Strengths in final design Weaknesses in final design Enough comments?
How to practice
Practice Practice at work Practice katas Practice in dojos
