Why don’t we get to pair?!
X-Functional Pairing Sustained Focus Continuous Debugging Multi-sensory stimulation Knowledge distribution Create an L-Mode/R-Mode Tug-of-War Create a Cross-Disciplinary Loop Get comfortable sharing work in progress Learn to create lean specs
Linear-Mode Logical, Step-by-step “Gives you the power to work through details and make it happen.” Rich-Mode Non-linear, Intuitive Holistic, Asynchronous Non-verbal (e.g. visual)
Cross-Disciplinary Feedback Loop
Get Comfortable SharingWork in progress
Get Comfortable Creating Lean Specs
Also…be sure you are doing a complete feedback loop… Think Make Check
When is a good time to x-pair? Do this first… Big Picture Design/User Flow/Sketch-level UI Ideal time to x-pair… During a sprint, solving a narrowly defined problem
Is it all roses? Less or no continuous debugging Risk of tunnel-vision/solving wrong problem Designer/Developer dynamic can become stressful/aggravating

  3. Bird by Bird: some instruction on writing and life:“I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won’t have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren’t even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they’re doing it.” From Andy Hunt Bookhttp://www.orcutt.net/othercontent/sfds.pdf
