The Values of Extreme Programming |
|---|
 Extreme
Programming (XP) is based on values. The rules we just examined are the
natural extension and consequence of maximizing our values. XP isn't
really a set of rules but rather a way to work in harmony with your
personal and corporate values. Start with XP's values listed here then
add your own by reflecting them in the changes you make to the rules.Simplicity: We will do what is needed and asked for, but no more. This will maximize the value created for the investment made to date. We will take small simple steps to our goal and mitigate failures as they happen. We will create something we are proud of and maintain it long term for reasonable costs. Communication: Everyone is part of the team and we communicate face to face daily. We will work together on everything from requirements to code. We will create the best solution to our problem that we can together. |
Feedback:
We will take every iteration commitment seriously by delivering working
software. We demonstrate our software early and often then listen
carefully and make any changes needed. We
will talk about the project and adapt our process to it, not the other
way around. Respect: Everyone gives and feels the respect they deserve as a valued team member. Everyone contributes value even if it's simply enthusiasm. Developers respect the expertise of the customers and vice versa. Management respects our right to accept responsibility and receive authority over our own work. Courage: We will tell the truth about progress and estimates. We don't document excuses for failure because we plan to succeed. We don't fear anything because no one ever works alone. We will adapt to changes when ever they happen. What
lessons have we learned
about implementing XP so far. |
