| Description |
| </h3> |
| <p> |
| All the contributors to an XP project sit together, members of a whole team. The team shares the project goals and the |
| responsibility for achieving them. This team must include a business representative, the "Customer" who provides the |
| requirements, sets the priorities, and steers the project. It's best if the Customer or one of her aides is a real end |
| user who knows the domain and what is needed. The team will of course have programmers. The team may include testers, |
| who help the Customer define the customer acceptance tests. Analysts may serve as helpers to the Customer, helping to |
| define the requirements. There is commonly a coach, who helps the team keep on track and facilitates the process. There |
| may be a manager, providing resources, handling external communication and coordinating activities. None of these roles |
| is necessarily the exclusive property of just one individual. Everybody on an XP team contributes in any way that they |
| can. The best teams have no specialists, only general contributors with special skills. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Subservient in organization to the Whole Team are the teams that focus on the business decisions (<a |
