What Is eXtreme Programming?

XP is a formalized [1] The idea is to find the things that work well and make them work even better. This is where the extreme comes from, the high-intensity use of these practices.

The goal of XP for you, the developer, is to enable you to focus on the code, developing high-quality solutions in a predictable and repeatable manner. XP focuses on the use of 12 main practices. Each one of these practices is a valuable tool to have in your toolbox. Each practice supports and strengthens some of the other practices. When used together, these practices have been shown to add up to more than the sum of the parts.

The XP practices support four key values: communication, simplicity, feedback, and courage. Each of the values interacts with the other. Together these values work to create a strong foundation for developing high-quality software solutions. By using these practices and supporting these values, a team can ensure that high-quality software gets produced to meet the most pressing business needs.
