Mr. T's "XP in a Nutshell":

    What does a formal review process solve that pair programming does
    not?  Nothing we can see, so why waste the effort?

    Now, let's talk about processes that make pair programming more
    effective, OK?  YAGNI.  User stories.  Refactor.  Write tests
    first.  Collective code ownership.

Well ... maybe a little.
