Extreme Programming Misconceptions
This page is intended to document some common misconceptions about ExtremeProgramming.
A couple have been started:
- RewritingIsNotRefactoring
- ExtremeProgramming is not CowboyCoding
- ExtremeProgramming, instead of NotDoingDesign, is rather about ContinuousDesign (see also XpDoesDesign, DesignInXp, etc.)
- ExtremeProgramming does not forbid writing any documentation, rather avoid TooMuchDocumentation (see also KeepMassLow, ExtremeDocuments, and OnceAndOnlyOnce)
- XpIsNotaSilverBullet
- ReFactoring should not occur in large expensive chunks (See RewritingIsNotRefactoring)
See also PairProgrammingMisconceptions.
Please add others that you are tired of dealing with. Cheers,-- JasonNocks
