Question 3

What is XP and what are its characteristics?

Accepted Answer

XP stands for "extreme programming", which is an emerging technique for developing computer programs. It is used for developing application programs rather than for large systems that may require new business processes and procedures. It is distinguished from other methods by three characteristics: it is customer- centric, it uses just- in- time design, and it involves two programmers working
side- by- side on the same computer. It is also extremely iterative in nature with the customer involved as a full- time participant.

Accepted Answer

A)  forgetting to account for sick leaves, vacations, training time in the project schedule. 
B)  developers getting discouraged by frequent changes to the project schedule. 
C)  managers wanting to reduce the proposed time frame. 
D)  all of the above.
