Presentation: TweetBest of Both Worlds: Remote Pairing In Action
Daily commutes through rush hour traffic and the necessity of living where you work are becoming obsolete when technology now allows us to work from home. But working alone from home can become unmotivating and lonely, and lacks the necessary interaction for collaboration and building good working relationships.
The solution that we’ve found combines the best of both worlds for developers is 100% remote pairing.
We will talk about the success we’ve had with remote pairing at Outpace over the past year, along with the tools and processes we’ve found to work best for this setup.
We will discuss: Advantages of pairing in general advantages of pairing remotely overview of setup and tools team size and organization other practices we use along with remote pairing (agile, anarchy) what we’ve learned over the past year at Outpace Systems
Target Audience: This is a general presentation targeted to a general audience managers, team leads, and developers - anyone interested in learning more about pairing and remote pairing and how the practice may benefit their teams and organizations.
