XP Values

October 17, 2007 by Artem Marchenko

Extreme Programming is best known for its efficient engineering practices such as Pair Programming or Test-First Programming. However, practices are only a surface of Extreme Programming. The pros and cons of the practices, their importance and order of applying depend on the organizational and team context. Values are the backbone of XP. It is the understanding of values that makes the practices reasonable. It is possible to implement the practices without caring about the values, however, you can take most of XP only if your organization values match the values of XP.
