Extreme Programming (XP)
Quick Overview of the Software
Development Methodology What it is • Extreme Programming (XP) is an Agile software development methodology that emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, and customer satisfaction. • It promotes frequent releases in short development cycles, improving productivity and responsiveness to changing customer requirements. How it works • - Developers work closely with customers to define requirements.
• - Practices include pair programming,
continuous integration, and test-driven development (TDD).
• - Frequent iterations enable rapid changes
without derailing the project. How it's different • XP is more developer-focused than methodologies like Scrum. • It emphasizes technical practices like TDD and pair programming, unlike Waterfall or Kanban which focus more on workflows and overall process structure. When to use it • Use XP when requirements change frequently, and there's a need for constant customer feedback. • It's best suited for small to medium-sized teams valuing adaptability and technical excellence.
