Boston Linux Meeting Wednesday, January January 21, 2004 Extreme Programming (room 4-163)

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

When: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 7:00 PM (6:30 for general Q&A)
Topic: Extreme Programming: One Team's Experience
Location:  MIT Building 4-163 ##### NOTE ROOM CHANGE #######
Presented by: Nancy Van Schooenderwoert <vanschoo-AT-rcn-DOT-com>

This talk gives an account "from the trenches" of how and why a software
team changed over to Extreme Programming, with emphasis on the issues
developers faced: tools, requirements changes, lack of management
support. Nancy took the initiative to move her team to XP, in an
organizational setting that tended to be slow-moving and bureaucratic.
With no expert mentoring, mistakes were made but what mattered was the
ability to "get back on the wagon" each time.
