Extreme Programming (XP) is a revolutionary lightweight methodology that's supercharging software development in organizations worldwide. Perfect for small teams producing software with fast-changing requirements, XP can save time and money while dramatically improving quality. In XP Installed, three participants in DaimlerChrysler's breakthrough XP project cover every key practice associated with XP implementation. The book consists of a connected collection of essays, presented in the order the practices would actually be implemented during a project. Ideal as both a start-to-finish tutorial and quick reference, the book demonstrates exactly how XP can promote better communication, quality, control, and predictability. An excellent complement to the best selling Extreme Programming Explained, it also works perfectly on a standalone basis, for any developer or team that wants to get rolling with XP fast.
It's good to see XP catching on internationally!We wrote this book for software development teams everywhere, because XP has helped us and we wanted to share it. There are already teams in the UK and the EEC doing XP, and we're delighted to see people having success with it.
Extreme Programming Installed was written for people who want to know how to get the benefits of XP for their team, and their company. It covers the breadth of XP from planning to testing and release, and we sincerely hope you'll try the book, and the process.
