Extreme Programming (XP)
Extreme Programming is an Agile methodology that emphasizes simplicity,
communication, and feedback, employing practices like pair programming,
test-driven development, and continuous integration.

Pair Programming

Two developers work together on the same code, promoting


knowledge sharing and improving code quality.

Test-Driven Development

Tests are written before code is written, ensuring that the


code meets the requirements and works as expected.

Continuous Integration

Code changes are integrated into the main codebase


frequently, reducing the risk of conflicts and promoting
collaboration.
Agile Project Management

Agile Estimation and Planning
Agile estimation and planning involve breaking down work into small,
manageable units, estimating the effort required to complete each unit,
and then planning sprints based on the available capacity.
