&lt;p>&#xD;
    Extreme Programming or XP is a development process that can be used by small to medium sized teams to develop high&#xD;
    quality software within a predictable schedule and budget and with a minimum of overhead. XP is currently one of the&#xD;
    most widely used agile processes in the industry.&#xD;

    This diagram arranges the core practices of Extreme Programming in a way that makes them easy to remember and that&#xD;
    exemplifies the steering and control cycles of the process. For more details, see &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot; href=&quot;./../../xp/guidances/concepts/xp_practices.html&quot; guid=&quot;2.2937799026801584E-305&quot;>Concept: XP Practices&lt;/a>.&#xD;
