Agile Extreme Programming (XP) is an Agile framework focused on technical excellence, emphasizing frequent releases and customer involvement. It consists of six phases: Exploration, Planning, Iterations to Release, Productionizing, Maintenance, and Death, along with core values and principles that promote communication, simplicity, and quality work. XP is particularly beneficial for dynamic projects, fostering high code quality and collaboration, though it may present challenges in larger or regulated environments.

Agile Extreme Programming (XP)
Phases, Principles, and Practices
Presented by: [Your Group Names] Agenda • Introduction to Agile and XP • XP Values and Principles • Phases of XP • XP Practices and Real-Life Use • Conclusion What is Agile? • Iterative approach to software development • Focuses on collaboration, flexibility, and customer feedback • Values individuals, working software, customer collaboration What is XP (Extreme Programming)? • Introduced by Kent Beck in the 1990s • Agile framework focused on technical excellence • Emphasizes frequent releases and customer involvement Why Use XP? • Ideal for dynamic and fast-changing projects • Embraces change, even late in development • Promotes code quality and quick feedback XP Core Values • Communication • Simplicity • Feedback • Courage • Respect XP Principles • Rapid feedback • Assume simplicity • Incremental change • Embrace change • Quality work Agile vs XP • Agile is a broad methodology; XP is a specific framework • XP focuses heavily on engineering practices • Both encourage customer collaboration and adaptability XP Phase 1: Exploration • Customer defines user stories • Team explores technology stack and tools • Goal: Understand project scope and feasibility XP Phase 2: Planning • User stories are prioritized • Team estimates cost and time • Release plan is created XP Phase 3: Iterations to Release • Short development cycles (1-2 weeks) • Write tests, code features, integrate continuously • Focus on delivering user stories XP Phase 4: Productionizing • Stabilize system for release • Optimize performance • Perform final testing and QA XP Phase 5: Maintenance • Post-deployment support • Bug fixes and minor updates • Continue XP practices XP Phase 6: Death • System reaches end-of-life • Complete documentation • Team moves to other projects XP Practices: Pair Programming & TDD • Pair Programming: Two developers work together on one task • Test-Driven Development: Write tests before writing code XP Practices: CI & Refactoring • Continuous Integration: Merge code frequently • Refactoring: Improve internal code without changing behavior • Collective Code Ownership: Anyone can edit any part of code Coding Standards & Small Releases • Follow consistent coding conventions • Deliver working software frequently • Receive feedback early and often XP in Real Life • Used by companies like ThoughtWorks, Spotify • Effective in fast-paced environments • Ideal for startups and tech firms Benefits & Challenges • High code quality and faster delivery • Encourages team collaboration • Challenging in large or regulated environments Conclusion • XP enhances Agile with engineering discipline • Focus on simplicity, feedback, and adaptability • Delivers working software with high quality
