The main intent of this kata is to practice Mob Programming and agree on a preferred mobbing style for the team.
For this we will run a variant of the Roman Numerals Converter kata, where we intend this time to calculate the sum of 2 roman numbers.
To add a bit of fun, we will do it without any use of integers.
| Num 1 | + | Num 2 | = | Sum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | + | I | = | II |
| IV | + | X | = | XIV |
| XCIX | + | I | = | C |
| CXXIV | + | MDCCCXCV | = | MMXIX |
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with a short briefing about mob programming theory
|
| 2 | Start by practicing round robin (without any coding yet).
 |
| 3 | Mini Retro |
| 4 | Start work on the kata with silent observers and driver |
| 5 | Mini Retro |
| 6 | Continue coding. The observers are now allowed to speak, one at a time, only after they raise their hand |
| 7 | Mini Retro |
| 8 | Continue. This time, all observers are upgraded to navigators, but they should self-discipline to only speak one at a time |
| 9 | Mini Retro |
| 10 | Final retrospective: Agree on the team's preferred mobbing style |
