You will need multiple copies of this book (if you don't have enough copies on hand, you can make photocopies of specific practices for the purpose of this exercise), paper, and writing implements. Step 1. Start by forming pairs. Try for heterogeneous pairs--have a programmer work with a customer, a customer work with a tester, and so forth, rather than pairing by job description. Work with a new partner every day. Step 2. (Timebox this step to 15 minutes.) Within your pair, pick one practice from Part II of this book and discuss one of the following sets of questions. Pick a practice that neither of you have discussed before, even if you didn't get to lead a discussion yesterday. Timebox your discussion to fifteen minutes. It's OK not to finish the section, particularly if you haven't read it before. You'll have the chance to read it again. If you aren't using the practice: · What about the practice would be easy to do? What would be hard? What sounds ridiculous or silly? · How does it differ from your previous experiences? · What would have to be true in order for you to use the practice exactly as written? If you are using the practice: · What aspects of the practice do you do differently than the book says? (Observations only-- no reasons.) · If you were to follow the practice exactly as written, what would happen? · What one experimental change could you try that would give you new insight about the practice? (Experiments to prove that the practice is inappropriate are OK.)
