COLLAPSE
The first Extreme Programming project was started March 6, 1996. Extreme Programming is one of several popular Agile Processes. It has already been proven to be very successful at many companies of all different sizes and industries world wide.
—Don Wells, in Extreme Programming: a gentle introduction, 2013 online blog post
Extreme Programming (XP) is an approach to project management that emphasises agile processes, most notably agile teamwork. For this Focused Discussion, you will research XP to consider XP strengths and weaknesses as a project management methodology. Wells (2013) provides a good tutorial outlining XP.
To complete this Discussion:
Post: Explain the XP systems view of project management; compare and contrast this approach to other project management approaches presented in this Week’s Lecture Notes and Resources. Include in your analysis whether project planning is needed in an XP project management approach. If you have participated in information technology projects where XP was employed, describe your experience. Additionally, include in your post the sources you used to research XP.
