Teddy Bear Factor

Try to remember how much time u’ve met the case when your are calling your colleague to look on issue you can’t solve, and asap the colleague comes it’s solving without his assistance 🙂 Just because he had stayed next to, you found the solution

I bet each of us meets this scenario one-two times per month. This is standard situation and this is absolutely normal. People, by nature, can easily miss their errors, and that’s why the team inspections are essentials, but this is another story

I decided to write this post when in one day in our team each of us asked another assistance and the problem was solved when u just stayed in 1 meter from person 🙂

This is usually known as "Teddy bear factor", the factor when you need to sit your favourite teddy toy near, and everything will be okey-dokey 🙂
