Mob programming is the go to solutions at work. We have been using mob programming for a couple of month for specific parts of existing and new projects and it still surprises me how good it is. I never liked pair programming and when I heard of thought this was the same thing, just more wast of time. But I was wrong. You should try it out, its free you know, no $ to pay.
But as always we are people and people like different things, but with mob programming I think you have a really good chance of succeeding. Just remember to take 5 min to explain how to do it before you start.
