She, Jeff, and Pat had
walked over to a series of large tables. Index cards and pencils were scattered around the tables, and
whiteboards covered the walls. Six programmers were working in pairs at three of the workstations.
???Hi, Pat,??? the team chorused. Kim introduced everyone.
???Welcome aboard,??? said Justin, one of the programmers. He stood up and grabbed a rubber chicken
from a nearby desk. ???Kevin and I are going to integrate our changes now,??? he announced to the rest of
the group. A few people nodded abstractly, already intent on their work.
???Mary and I just made some changes to the customer tests,??? said Jeff. ???Who??™s working on the warehouse
story????
???That??™s us,??? said Justin. ???What??™s up????
???We added some examples to cover some new edge cases. I think they??™re pretty straightforward, but if
you have any questions, let us know.???
???Will do,??? Justin replied. ???We were about to finish off the last of the business logic for that story anyway.
We??™ll take a look at it as soon as we??™ve checked in.???

???Thanks!??? Jeff went off to meet Mary and Brian at the planning board.
???Before you start on your next task, Justin, do you have a few minutes???? Kim asked.
