Extreme Programming (XP)

Thursday, April 21, 2005

Abstract

Extreme Programming (XP) was officially launched in 2000, but five years later there is still much discussion on how XP is applied to working teams. XP is one of many Agile software development processes which places strong emphasis on iterative software development and close collaboration between software developers and business users. Carlton Nettleton will lead a discussion on what defines XP and how XP can reduce risk in software projects.
