| The specific roles that XP identifies as part of the XP Organization are the XP Tracker and the XP Coach. The XP |
| Organization also includes all of the people who make up the infrastructure that allows the project to exist. This |

| the dependence of the XP Customer Team and the XP Developer Team on the XP Organization. In XP, the goal is for the |
| whole team to be self-managing and largely self-supporting. XP does not give specific practice guidance to these other |
| roles, but does suggest that these roles also guide their practices with the <a class="elementLink" |
