Started as a team lead for 3 Juniors and an intermediate earlier this year.

The feedback i have gotten so far seem to be that Pair programming and retrospectives (with games) seem to have been the biggest impact on their learning.


We would do mobbing on a simple task for new concepts and then i would get them to do pair programming on the subject, with some early feedback from me so they knew their were working in the right direction.

It worked so well it rubbed off on the other teams. :)

Fun fact, even among seniors, sharing ideas by asking people to read articles, watch videos etc. has never really worked for me when as a way of knowledge sharing.
