What did you see?
What did you see?• How often did we switch ”driver”?
• Effects of pairing?• What did the ”non-driver” do?
•How do you expect it to be different?
What do you think?•Pairing two seniors?•Pairing two juniors?
• Pairing senior and talent?• Pairing senior and junior?
What did you see?• Was the step size right?• What was the first test?
• How did we decide next test?• What was the final test?
What did you see?•Did we refactor the right amount?
• How long was the code red?• Strengths in final design
•Weaknesses in final design•Enough comments?
