Roles

You’ll take turns filling three roles at a meetup:

• Leader
• Supporter
• Observer

You’ll work together in rounds, each will last 20 minutes and once the time is up, you’ll switch roles.

Leader

• Shares their screen
• Presents a challenge
• Codes with help from the Supporter

Supporter

• Starts by reading and understanding the problem
• Guides towards a solution
• Focuses on asking questions to the leader
• Supports the leader to solve the problem

Observer

• Provides feedback to the leader and supporter
• Is quiet during the coding and gives space to the others
• Gives constructive feedback at the end of the round

What to focus on

• Was the person in the supporting role supportive?
• Did the Leader listen well to the Supporter?
• What was missing from the eventual solution?
• What could be done differently next time?

Mentor

• Supports everyone to work together
• Doesn’t give all the answers
• Can help prompt towards a solution or give hints
• Keeps an eye on time

Today, I Learned…

At the end of the session, we’ll ask each person to share a Today I Learned.

Let everyone know something new you discovered during the session or some knowledge you have to share with the group.
