Guidance on how to make pairing sessions more accessible and inclusive

[ParisaTork]

What is being recommended?

I thought it would be helpful to provide guidance on how to make pairing sessions more accessible and inclusive. I've taken things that I've personally found helpful and have also learnt from my pairing sessions/good experiences with Akash and David F. This is also informed by my time in education.

What's the context?

This is part of a wider discussion I've been having with my current team (WebX) about improving our ways of working.

Note

The recommendations in this repository are intended to share engineering best practices for all of Product & Engineering (P&E) in the open.

Some considerations:

• Should this really be an ADR in another repository?
• Have you sought review widely enough (Developer Experience, Heads of Engineering)?
• If it is security related, should you consult with Information Security?
