Pair Programming is probably considered to be the most extreme ‘Extreme Programming’ practice, and a powerful technique for unlocking learning in a software development team.

When Kent Beck wrote about Extreme Programming (XP) he described Pair Programming as one of the technical and cultural disciplines that helped to improve the quality and efficiency of software engineering. Few teams that practice it would go back to working without it.
