| medium-sized project teams that fit a certain profile. It promotes rapid feedback and response to continual change. It |

| <p> |
| Extreme Programming is an instance of an agile method for developing software. It is based upon the core principle of |
| agility and consists of twelve practices that, when applied to an appropriate software development project, can produce |
| high-quality software. If you are unfamiliar with the concepts surrounding XP, you should start by reading <a |

| <a id="Characteristics" name="Characteristics">Characteristics of an XP Project</a> |
| </h3> |
| <p> |
| 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. Since XP relies heavily on |
| direct and frequent communication between the team members, the team should be co-located. An ideal project for using |
| XP would be one that has most of the following characteristics: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| A small to medium-sized team (fewer than 20 people on the complete team) |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Co-located, preferably in a single area with a large common space |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| A committed, full-time, on-site customer or customer representative |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <h3> |
| <a id="Phases" name="Phases">Phases and Iterations</a> |
| </h3> |
| <p> |
| An XP project is one that is based on rapid feedback through short iterations and frequent releases.&nbsp;Unified |
| Process&nbsp;and XP share a fundamental belief that iterative development is the best way to deliver valuable software |
| to your customers. The concept of phases, as usually described in the Unified Process, is somewhat different. Decisions |
| described in the Unified Process phases that define milestones occur, but they are not called specifically as defining |
| phases. |
| </p> |
| <h3> |
| <a id="GettingStarted" name="GettingStarted">How to Get Started</a> |
| </h3> |
| <p> |
| This section provides a recommended way to approach XP for your project. You don't have to follow the steps as |
| specified, but if you have little experience with XP, we recommend following them as closely as possible the first |
| time. |
