Nancy Van Schooenderwoert and Colleagues, on Mob Programming
Nancy Van Schooenderwoert, Woody Zuill, Matthew Dodkins and Simon Clements-Hawes.
Mob Programming – Learn, Teach, Research (Industry & Practice, 3 hours)
Abstract: #MobProgramming is a practice where a whole software team works together, at one computer, one line of code at a time, outperforming their previous work significantly in both quality and volume. Impossible? Maybe – except for the teams actually doing it now. Woody Zuill’s team in California began this practice in 2011, and it’s been spreading since. This session will do three things:
• Show how anyone can help a team get started with Mob Programming
• Give you a front-row seat to see how the first teams to use Mob Programming for embedded systems fared
• Invite you to learn, teach, or research Mob Programming. You’ll learn all about Mob Programming from 4 distinct perspectives:
• Simon – a team member with less than 2 years’ embedded experience, who has now used Mob Programming in two teams at Bluefruit Software
• Matthew – a very experienced team technical leader who works with Simon
• Nancy – a lean-agile coach who got them started in Mob Programming with only a 15 minute description and an hour of “just doing it” the way Woody Zuill teaches it
• Woody – the person who has seen the widest variety of Mob Programming instances in the world, and who has been using it continually with his team since 2011.

MOB PROGRAMMING FOR EMBEDDED SYSTEMS SOFTWARE
Nancy Van Schooenderwoert | President, Lean-Agile Partners, Inc.
Location: Fantasical Theater
Date: Wednesday, May 6
Time: 11:00am - 11:45am
Track: Fantastical Theatre of Engineering Innovation, Embedded Software Design
Pass Type: Conference Pass, Demo Hall - Get your pass now!
Audience Level: All
Mob Programming is a practice where a whole software team works together, at one computer, one line of code at a time, outperforming their previous work significantly in both quality and volume. Impossible? Maybe except for the teams actually doing it now. One team in California began in 2011, and it's been spreading since. This session tells the story of the first embedded systems teams to use #MobProgramming.This session is a double experience report plus a demo: Speaker Simon Clements-Hawes gives his observations as an embedded systems team member starting to use MobProgramming, and Nancy describes how to get a team started in MobProgramming. Thru video clips, the team's coding of a LeanKit interrogator in C# will be shown using Mob Programming of course!
TAKEAWAY
Attendees will learn:What Mob Programming is and how it originated Why development teams are choosing to use Mob Programming. Simple guidelines for trying Mob Programming in your team. Experiences of two embedded programming teams with Mob Programming. Why Simon Clements-Hawes says "Mob Programming is a no-effort learning environment!"
INTENDED AUDIENCE
Anyone wrestling with the problem of how to grow real expertise rapidly will find this session compelling, for example:Team technical leads, Software team managers, Software developers, Agile coaches, Anyone curious about the learning process

CRAFT CONFERENCE
April 22-24 Budapest, Hungary
http://craft-conf.com/2015/about
Nancy Van Schooenderwoert in 2 Sessions!
An Interactive Session on Mob Programming and a Presentation on Agile Engineering.
Session Overviews:
Mob Programming Live!#MobProgramming is a practice where a whole software team works together, at one computer, one line of code at a time, outperforming their previous work significantly in both quality and volume. Impossible? Maybe – except for the teams actually doing it now. Woody Zuill’s team in California began this practice in 2011, and it’s been spreading since. For through, accelerated learning, nothing beats this!
This session will do three things:
You’ll learn all about Mob Programming from 4 distinct perspectives:
Who is this session for?
Anyone wrestling with the problem of how to grow real expertise rapidly will find this session compelling, for example:
Agile Engineering in a Safety-Critical World
From integrated circuit design to medical device applications, product teams are looking for ways to get the benefits of Agile practices for all the engineering disciplines. Even regulatory bodies like the FDA are recognizing that Agile is a legitimate pathway to safer products, and there is now a Technical Information Report to advise companies on how to satisfy regulatory needs when using Agile practices. This session will give examples of how real teams are applying the Agile principles beyond software, how some of the Agile practices just don’t translate, and what works instead.
Who is this session for?
Nancy holds a Scrum Master certification, has edited a column for the Agile Times, and served on the IEEE 1648 committee to define a standard for customers of agile teams. She has been a regular presenter at various Agile-related conferences since 2003. Her work in applying Agile methods to embedded systems has been referenced by Jim Shore and Mary Poppendieck in their books.

Who is this session for?
- Software developers who need to work more effectively with other engineers
- Electronic, Mechanical, and other engineers looking for Agile speed and quality
- Managers tired of the waste and friction of using Agile for software, and something else for the rest of the development disciplines
- Technical leaders looking for facts and examples to inspire their teams
