Research has shown that pair programming is not slower than programming on your own (i.e. two people working together are just as fast as two people working on their own). The benefit of pair programming that you basically get for free is that the resulting code has higher quality and that the team knows the total code base better. In other words, pair programming is free; it doesn't reduce your time to market or ROI. @luk: It’s not about investing more into this.

This may work well for big companies that have a better buffer, but small companies need a quick return on investment. I do not think my company could afford this.
