    This roadmap provides information for getting started and applying the practices of eXtreme Programming (XP) to a&#xD;

    Extreme Programming is an instance of an &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../../xp/guidances/concepts/agile_software_development.html&quot; guid=&quot;1.041091673844025E-305&quot;>Agile Software Development&lt;/a> method. XP is a method that is optimized for small to&#xD;
    medium-sized project teams that fit a certain profile. It promotes rapid feedback and response to continual change. It&#xD;
    is based upon the four &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithUserText&quot; href=&quot;./../../../xp/guidances/concepts/xp_values.html&quot; guid=&quot;1.076140803519123E-306&quot;>values&lt;/a>&#xD;
    of simplicity, communication, feedback, and courage and is consistent with the values of agile software development.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Extreme Programming is an instance of an agile method for developing software. It is based upon the core principle of&#xD;
    agility and consists of twelve practices that, when applied to an appropriate software development project, can produce&#xD;
    high-quality software. If you are unfamiliar with the concepts surrounding XP, you should start by reading &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../../xp/guidances/concepts/agile_software_development.html&quot; guid=&quot;1.041091673844025E-305&quot;>Agile Software Development&lt;/a>.&#xD;

&lt;/h3>&#xD;
&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. Since XP relies heavily on&#xD;
    direct and frequent communication between the team members, the team should be co-located. An ideal project for using&#xD;
    XP would be one that has most of the following characteristics:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        A small to medium-sized team (fewer than 20 people on the complete team)&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Co-located, preferably in a single area with a large common space&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        A committed, full-time, on-site customer or customer representative&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;

    &lt;a id=&quot;Phases&quot; name=&quot;Phases&quot;>Phases and Iterations&lt;/a>&#xD;
&lt;/h3>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    An XP project is one that is based on rapid feedback through short iterations and frequent releases.&amp;nbsp;Unified&#xD;
    Process&amp;nbsp;and XP share a fundamental belief that iterative development is the best way to deliver valuable software&#xD;
    to your customers. The concept of phases, as usually described in the Unified Process, is somewhat different. Decisions&#xD;
    described in the Unified Process phases that define milestones occur, but they are not called specifically as defining&#xD;
    phases.&#xD;

&lt;p>&#xD;
    This section provides a recommended way to approach XP for your project. You don't have to follow the steps as&#xD;
    specified, but if you have little experience with XP, we recommend following them as closely as possible the first&#xD;
    time.&#xD;
