Remote Pairing Etiquette

• Ask before grabbing the mouse / keyboard

  • Sometimes you need to move the cursor to get it back onto your local screen. Try to end each driving session with the cursor already on your screen.

• Turn off notifications or consider using a tool to block other applications while pairing

• Make sure to think out loud as much as possible since it can be very difficult to follow what someone is doing through screensharing

• If you need to mute the other person or step away for any reason, make sure to notify the person you are pairing with

• If you need to take a break, say so and agree to come back after a fixed time span.
