The transition to XP is notoriously full of pitfalls. Programmers,
managers, and other project stakeholders must all learn new techniques
and new ways of working together. This is cultural change, and it's
not easy.
During an XP transition period, old habits die hard and new ones
die all too easily. Is there an ideal order in which to adopt the
practices in your shop? How quickly should transition proceed?
How should you handle it if a programmer refuses to
participate in good faith? What if management
tries to dictate a specific technical approach to programmers?
We can help you answer these questions. We can help your team fit
the practices to your environment, finding ways of dealing with
your particular real-world transition problems. We can help keep
your team on-process and motivated. To learn more, contact
