Event Information

Training: Extreme Programming

"Many people (including myself) consider XP to be the primary catalyst that got attention to agile methods, and superior to Scrum as a base for starting out in agile development."
— Extreme Programming, Martin Fowler, Chief Scientist ThoughtWorks

Can you safely deploy to production, anytime? Even on a Friday afternoon? Can you accept changes to requirements, even late in development? Can you go fast? Can you sustain low cycle time and reasonable velocity throughout the project, for months and years?
Yes, you can, if you use the right process.

Extreme Programming, developed by Kent Beck and Ron Jeffries, with major contributions by Ward Cunningham, Don Wells, Chet Hendrickson, Laurie Williams, and others, during their work on the Chrysler C3 (Chrysler Comprehensive Compensation) System, is a process that turns change from an enemy into a friend. It harnesses change for your competitive advantages. It features similar roles, ceremonies, and artifacts as Scrum. But on top of that, Extreme Programming covers a lot of ground about how to develop software, how to run iterations (sprints). It is a framework of values, activities, and practices targeted to actually produce software.

Audience

Developers, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Managers

Precondition

Participants need a basic understanding of software development in general. Being able to program is not necessary.

Goals

Learn the practices of Extreme Programming and how they benefit improving your software development process.

Contents

Extreme Programming is a development method described by Kent Beck, Ron Jeffries, Ward Cunningham, and others in the late 1990ies. It is an Agile process framework like Scrum. Younger than Scrum, and with its origins deeply rooted in software development, it is not a universal agile framework and can only be applied to software development. But in software development, it is regarded as one of the most successful process frameworks, because it closes the gaps that others leave around technical practices.
