Document Summary

Isd finish scrum, extreme programming & project. An agile methodology that takes the best practices of software development and extends them (cid:1688)to the extreme(cid:1689) Plan iterations: inside ring, not sequential. Business comes up with a list of desired features for the system. Each feature is written out as a user story, which gives the feature a name, and describes, broadly, what is required. Estimation: (1) how much effort each story will take, and (2) how much effort the team can produce in a given time interval (an iteration). Business then decides which stories to implement in what order, as well as when and how often to produce a production releases of the system: small releases. A series of iterations, each iteration ends in a release. Small in terms of functionality (less functionality means releases happen more frequently). Release early and often, adding a few features each time: continuous testing. Tests play the most important and central role in xp.
