Pair Programming delivers capability uplift, faster delivery and higher quality. This one-day workshop shows you how to do it and extract the benefits.
Unleash the power of two
In this Pair Programming workshop, you’ll learn how pairing up can produce simpler code solutions, help avoid expensive operational issues and dramatically improve productivity. You’ll also experience how it can liberate learning and charge up engagement levels in your team.
Delivered through hands-on, practical examples, it’s suitable for engineers and developers of all levels, as well as technical leads and coaches. Attendees should have some technical background and be comfortable installing software on their computers. While candidates do not need to be ‘active’ coders, it would be beneficial as attendees will be expected to learn coding with those they’re paired with in the workshop.
