The way to win over an entrepreneur is to out-perform expectations set from painful, past experience.

Before Scrum/XP

…six months later, they deliver what the assignment was. And you look at it and say, “Oh no, that’s not what I wanted.”

With Scrum/XP

…you work on a two-week cycle… You agree on what the priorities are in the meeting. You review the priorities. You evaluate where you are, and you move to the next step…

Wendy and Oksana discuss pair programming

Posted on by

Two of our developers, Wendy Friedlander and Oksana Udovitska are taking “The Gentle Art of Pair Programming” on the road to DevTeach in Montreal on May 16th.

A description is on Scott Bellware’s blog.

Our team consistently pair programs both in the office and remotely. Oksana and Wendy’s introduction to this practice made enough of an impact at NYC CodeCamp that they were urged to repeat it at DevTeach.

I’m not surprised. They are smart and talented and a blast to work with. Such engaging personalities you might see them on Oxygen online sometime.
