Abstract

XP has the potential to allow a team to work on a project for a long period of time, potentially several years. At Connextra we have been carefully following the suggested XP practices for more than 3 years, and along with additional techniques such as team retrospectives and gold cards, we have proven that sustainable development is a reality. This paper outlines the history the team, the introduction and refinements of team retrospectives and an experiment in a cross discipline exchange with a qualified social worker.
