Mob Programming

Mob Programming is a cost-effective, collaborative and fun way to get work done. The whole team works together on value farming, designing, coding, and testing.

Mob Programming is a cost-effective, collaborative, and fun way to get work done together. It's a whole team approach to development, a “continuous integration of ideas”, where coding, designing, testing, and working with the "customer" (partner, product manager, etc.) is all done as a team.

Mob Programming helps teams solve problems faster, grow individual skills, share knowledge, and produce higher quality work.

In this workshop, you will learn what Mobbing is and isn’t, how to configure an excellent Mobbing environment, Mobbing mechanics, and how to work with large mobs. You’ll get plenty of practice and be guided by an expert Mobbing practitioner.
Anyone involved in software development work including "non-coders.”
