Team communication tools for XP adoption. When a development team decides to migrate to extreme programming (XP), the natural tendency is to focus on the programming practices, including unit testing, continuous integration, refactoring, and pair programming. Typically, this decision is made without enough knowledge of XP and how it relates to a particular team, and without much thought about the culture and values required to successfully practice XP. A team that embraces the values of XP?communication, simplicity, feedback, and courage?reduces the risk in the transition to XP. By using tools such as retrospectives and study groups, you can lessen the XP learning curve, and begin to work and act together.
