Pairing: Not Just for Software Development!
At Menlo, it’s no secret that our paired programming practice is crucial to our success. But did you know we also follow this construct for other roles? High-Tech Anthropology® tasks are done in pairs, our Project Managers pair with both each other as well as the client, and, as we jokingly like to say, any "mission critical task" like taxes and payroll can be done in pairs. We’ve even been known to pair on crucial emails! Consequently, we believe that those struggling with business process and project bottlenecks might find that pairing suits their needs.
Pairing supports the ability to scale resources up (or down) to meet deadlines or volume needs. If you find yourself denying or delaying vacation requests, we’ll demonstrate how pairing on tasks and strategically rotating resources through project teams and departments or roles can cut down on "towers of knowledge" team members who (if they are absent) can cause projects or systems to fail. We’ll focus on how cultivating a learning environment can provide more flexibility in meeting business milestones and keep your space buzzing with the energy of learning.
