Abstract

In this article, the author shares how ThoughtWorks introduced Extreme programming into an organization and successfully completed a bleeding-edge technology project with client staff that had no previous experience using an Agile development approach. This article illustrates not only how XP helped make the project a success, but also provides other valuable lessons learned regarding the introduction of XP at client sites.
