    Description&#xD;
&lt;/h3>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    All the contributors to an XP project sit together, members of a whole team. The team shares the project goals and the&#xD;
    responsibility for achieving them. This team must include a business representative, the &quot;Customer&quot; who provides the&#xD;
    requirements, sets the priorities, and steers the project. It's best if the Customer or one of her aides is a real end&#xD;
    user who knows the domain and what is needed. The team will of course have programmers. The team may include testers,&#xD;
    who help the Customer define the customer acceptance tests. Analysts may serve as helpers to the Customer, helping to&#xD;
    define the requirements. There is commonly a coach, who helps the team keep on track and facilitates the process. There&#xD;
    may be a manager, providing resources, handling external communication and coordinating activities. None of these roles&#xD;
    is necessarily the exclusive property of just one individual. Everybody on an XP team contributes in any way that they&#xD;
    can. The best teams have no specialists, only general contributors with special skills.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Subservient in organization to the Whole Team are the teams that focus on the business decisions (&lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../../xp/guidances/supportingmaterials/xp_customer_team.html&quot; guid=&quot;2.9889538140050517E-306&quot;>XP Customer Team&lt;/a>), the technical decisions (&lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../../xp/guidances/supportingmaterials/xp_developer_team.html&quot; guid=&quot;8.608243854485154E-306&quot;>XP Developer Team&lt;/a>), and the organization that supports those teams (&lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../../xp/guidances/supportingmaterials/xp_organization.html&quot; guid=&quot;5.613949040902463E-308&quot;>XP Organization&lt;/a>). To create a context for clear communication, XP provides a set of&#xD;
    guidelines defining the rights of the customer and developer. These guidelines are referred to as the &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithUserText&quot; href=&quot;./../../../xp/guidances/concepts/xp_rights.html&quot; guid=&quot;3.036332011267074E-306&quot;>customer and a developer bill of rights&lt;/a>.&#xD;
