eXtreme Programming

EXtreme Programming (XP) is the name that Kent Beck has given to the lightweight team process which he has been evolving over the years. 

In XP, we use a very lightweight combination of practices to create a team that can rapidly produce extremely reliable, efficient, well-factored software. Many of the XP practices were created and tested as part of the Chrysler C3 project, which is a very successful payroll system implemented in Smalltalk.

You may find some of these practices quite useful - a few may be controversial.  I'd like to hear from you in either case!  Enjoy them!
