Developers actually could design software and coding by following various technique or they don't even exactly know what approach they are using to develop the software at all. Normally they just do by their previous experience and follow their teammates.
Have you ever heard about Pair Programming and Mob Programming before? and which approach does it really suit with software development at your company?
Let's see the definition of both approaches as the following:
1. Mob programming (informally mobbing) (aka. ensemble programming) is a software development approach where the whole team works on the same thing, at the same time, in the same space, and at the same computer.

2. Pair programming is an agile software development technique in which two programmers work together at one workstation. One, the driver, writes code while the other, the observer or navigator, reviews each line of code as it is typed in. The two programmers switch roles frequently. While reviewing, the observer also considers the "strategic" direction of the work, coming up with ideas for improvements and likely future problems to address. This is intended to free the driver to focus all of their attention on the "tactical" aspects of completing the current task, using the observer as a safety net and guide.
