Abstract: The article tries to shed some light on the impact of human psychology on the effective use of pair programming in the modern Software development lifecycle such as SCRUM, Extreme Programming which are in turn used on heterogeneous software projects. This article also tries to identify that if the authors try to pair people keeping their psychology in mind that pair can come up with code with fewer defects, with efficient code, if the paper tries to pair people randomly without any planning or thinking might create a pair which let aside create inefficient code and lead to be unproductive nature, and even it will create a negative impact on the project and the team. This article introduces a few novel approaches in framing the pairs in pair programming's like known and unknown pairs, coder and reviewer pair and coder and tester pair. Applying the described approaches, an industry can improve the quality of the delivered product and improve the efficiency of software engineers.
