Pairing with Allison

##Pairing Woopee!

Pairing styles

Succesful pairing - Trust relationship and open communication

Driver-Navigator = Driver is typing/Navigator is talking through the code (guiding the driver)/ need to switch roles frequently to work well and both parties engaged

Ping Pong Pairing = Sitting side by side but looking at own screen / passing tasks back and forth

Distributed Pairing (remote pairing) = working alone but sharing work

#####DTR - Define the Relationship

• My expectations

  • Strengths - getting things done on time and open communication
  • Ideally, working with someone else means a few things: enough collaboration that allows for a result better than you could do on your own, but not too much that you yourself don't learn as much as you could
  • Communication needs to be clear and open, I don't want my partner to be afraid to say something because they think I might not agree or it might offend me
  • As long as both parties are following the git workflow, it seems to be a great way to work on code bases collaboratively, but definitely necessary to work on feature branches as much as possible
  • working with someone with a very different personality- We would just have to be clear with each other about not understanding the other

• Compromising

• Holding each other accountable
