I have discovered a lot of media including the Internet to find new people, new ideas, share experiences and learn more. This makes a man wiser. I will try and record all my thoughts here so that I can look them up later...others too can share and add value to what I think about life from my point of view

Pair Programming in XP has extensive benefits over and above what is apparent. Some examples of direct and indirect advantages of pair programming that I have seen my clients talk about include:
1. Attrition (for any reason including relocation) of team-members does not affect the Project. New team members become productive very soon
2. Cross learning is accelerated and team members develop competencies very fast. Knowledge is shared quickly through out the team.
3. Team Spirit and motivation is much higher. This results in unbelievably high productivity for every member. They are more involved, participative and supportive.
4. EQ (Emotional Quotient) in software professionals, which is normally lower due to their relatively higher IQ, improves very fast. It's fun to watch them work together now relative to when they used to work all alone and would look socially starved and frustrated.
I will continue to keep updating my observations. I run a XP consulting company in India. Binary Essentials Consulting Private Limited. Website www.binaryessentials.com
See you soon with more blogs.
