Values in XP

Four basic values enunciated:

  • Communication
    Without communications, everything suffers- deadlines, quality, functionality

  • Feedback
    Everything must be tested, technically and for customer acceptance.

  • Simplicity
    Do not add unnecessary artifacts or activities to a project. Eliminate everything not completely justified.

  • Courage
    Put faith in the people over the process. (Implies these prescriptions are ideals rather than requirements.)
