As someone who got to embed with a mixed client/Pivotal team, this was a great experience for me. I had never seen pairing or TDD done in a disciplined and thoughtful way, or participated on a team that was "Agile" in more than just name and appearance. We certainly had plenty of room to keep improving, but by the end of my time on the project we were deploying a high-quality product on an ongoing basis, making good design choices, and delivering substantial value for the users every few weeks. It felt great and I'm sorry to say I haven't gotten to experience it again since.
