Mob Programming | Glossary

 

Definition

Mob Programming is the software development approach in which the whole team works on the same computer, at the same time, in the same space and on the same thing. It is an extension of the concept of ‘pair programming’. It can be used in coding, defining stories, working with customers, designing, testing and deploying software. It is usually carried out and accomplished in workshops.
