I am spending some time catching up on Agile Development and Extreme Programming trying to match those practices against our development model for WSE. Faced with a number of rather trivial bugs against WSE 2.0 we tried a practical experiment with Extreme Programming's Pair Programming model this evening.
Rather than have an individual developer fix a number of bugs and then go to another developer for a code review, we sat 2 developers together and told them to spend a couple of hours working on bugs together. They cleared off 15 in 2 hours.
An interesting experiment with excellent results.
