> TOPIC ABSTRACT:
>
> Extreme
Programming (XP) and other agile disciplines promise to deliver
>
extraordinary value to customers. But, what exactly is "agile"? To
answer
> this question, we will look briefly at the faulty assumptions
that
> traditional methodologies have been built upon. ; We will cover
the core XP
> values of simplicity, communication, feedback, and courage
and how they
> manifest themselves through concrete developer and project
management
> practices. Finally, we will illustrate the life-span of a
typical XP
> project.
