XP Values: Communication, Simplicity, Feedback, and Courage XP Practices: Agile, best of breed software development techniques Have fun and build something cool -- Pete Bonham
Notes:XP takes "Just do it" to the extreme. Just go out there and create
something useful. The XP values are useful outside of programming.
If you have courage to communicate simply and to accept feedback,
you'll be able to assimilate new ideas and face new situations
more easily than if you don't.
The essence of XP is "Have fun and build something cool" imiho.
Motivation is the key factor in any software process. If you
get bogged down in the laborious details of specifications,
you probably aren't having fun. You aren't building anything
either. Most programmers are craftspeople. They like
producing things, not describing them.
