Session type: simple talk
Intended Audience:
Presentation language: English


Description:

Many people doing eXtreme Programming have realized that XP doesn't answer all questions that come up during a project. As a matter of fact, it sometimes elegantly sidesteps some important ones. Being a software development methodology, XP doesn't need to answer everything; nevertheless it would be nice to have a compatible organizational methodology that does.

Scrum is a highly effective project management methodology, an agile, lightweight process that can be used to manage and control software and product development. Wrapping existing engineering practices, including Extreme Programming, Scrum generates the benefits of agile development with the advantages of a simple implementation. Scrum significantly increases productivity while facilitating adaptive, empirical systems development.

This talk will explore the use of the XP set of tools and practices within the organizational framework of a Scrum project, will show how the two methodologies successfully complement each other, and will provide suggestions on how to incorporate Scrum techniques in your project - whether eXtreme or not.
