&lt;a id=&quot;WhatisXP&quot; name=&quot;WhatisXP&quot;&gt;What is XP?&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Extreme Programming or XP is a development process that can be used by small to medium sized teams to develop high
quality software within a predictable schedule and budget and with a minimum of overhead. XP is currently one of the
most widely used agile processes in the industry.
&lt;/p&gt;

This diagram arranges the core practices of Extreme Programming in a way that makes them easy to remember and that
exemplifies the steering and control cycles of the process. For more details, see &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot;

If you are unfamiliar with XP and want to learn more about it, we suggest you take the following steps:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
Get a quick &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithUserText&quot;
href=&quot;./../../xp/guidances/concepts/what_is_xp,9.251272550276345E-306.html&quot; guid=&quot;9.251272550276345E-306&quot;&gt;overview
of XP&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
Learn what the &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithUserText&quot;

guid=&quot;1.6390805262958034E-306&quot;&gt;motivation behind XP&lt;/a&gt; is.
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
Understand what &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;
href=&quot;./../../xp/guidances/concepts/agile_software_development,1.041091673844025E-305.html&quot;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
Take a tour of the &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;
href=&quot;./../../xp/guidances/concepts/xp_values,1.076140803519123E-306.html&quot; guid=&quot;1.076140803519123E-306&quot;&gt;XP
Values&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;
