ANSWER JUSTIFICATION
Just because one junior developer has made all the errors, there is
nothing in the question to suggest that the team has rejected a
'collective' ownership. Conversely, they are employing self-
organizing and self-deciding tactics by applying a risk mitigation
strategy where a senior developer utilizes a form of 'paired
programming'. While training might be a beneficial strategy long
term, the best immediate course of action is to reduce the risk
threatening immediate delivery of working products to the
customer. The team also has the authority to use their own group
decision making techniques (Majority Vs. Unanimous)
