Introducing Ensemble

When you have a team working together well in an ensemble it gives everyone a better chance to share knowledge and raise the quality of the work being done. Ensemble is another name for Software Teaming or Mob Programming. Before a team will be able to work smoothly in an ensemble you usually need to explain the structure, roles, and underlying principles. They will also need some hands-on practice working this way with a straightforward piece of code before they tackle the complexity of their production code. This course introduces all the important aspects for successful ensemble in a structured way that is tried and tested.

The hope is that later on you’d be able to use the course materials to repeat this same training with any teams you are part of or are coaching.

Course Topics:

• Creating a safe, engaging coding environment with your team
• Ensemble roles, rotations and structure
• Hands-on experience being part of a well-facilitated ensemble
• Practical tips to improve communication and collaboration

This training is highly interactive and participatory. No prior experience of ensemble is needed. You will come away with the knowledge you need to get started ensemble working with your colleagues.
