This blog is for people who want to think about how they manage people, projects, and risk.

The best part of the Project is the beer part.. doing an all nighter and then converging red eyes for next day demo !! :)- The worst is the panic mode, it actually weakens the product. However there is something else which we called "cut throat" programming... just code, in lean mode.. no comments, no documents ..just bridge the gap , we'll close the loop later kinda stuff All 4 are common.

It continues despite proof that it causes problems in the next cycle. Pair Coding: I've never done it, but I've seen it done. Pair Party: Nope. Beer-and-projection-group-debugging: Again, nope, but it sounds like something to try. :) Panic Programming: Yes, especially when requirements change the day before you ship.

The worst by product is that things like writing unit tests go right out the window and the code goes out in pretty shabby shape. I've done peer coding a few times at conferences. It is pretty difficult when both of you aren't that familiar with the problem domain. I see a lot of panic programming, and I’ve done some in the past.
