Extreme Programming and Agile Methods - XP/Agile Universe 2002: Second XP Universe and First Agile Universe Conference Chicago, IL, USA, August 4-7, 2 [Paperback]

The second XP Universe and ?rst Agile Universe brought together many p- ple interested in building software in a new way. Held in Chicago, August 47, 2002 it attracted software experts, educators, and developers. Unlike most c- ferences the venue was very dynamic. Many activities were not even well de?ned in advance. All discussions were encouraged to be spontaneous. Even so, there were some written words available and you are holding all of them now. We have collected as much material as possible together into this small volume. It is just the tip of the iceberg of course. A reminder to us of what we learned, the people we met, and the ideas we expressed. The conference papers, including research and experience papers, are rep- duced in these proceedings. Forty-one (41) papers were submitted. Each subm- ted paper received three reviews by program committee members. The program committee consisted of 40 members. Papers submitted by program committee members were refereed separately. This ensured that reviewers could provide an honest feedback not seen by the paper submitters. In many cases, the program committee shepherded authors to signi?cantly improve their initial submission prior to completing the version contained in these proceedings. In the end, the program committee chose 25 papers for publication (60% acceptance).Methods and Support Tools.- Designing Requirements: Incorporating Usage-Centered Design into an Agile SW Development Process.- Supporting Distributed Extreme Programming.- Using Ant to Solve Problems Posed by Frequent Deployments.- Supporting Adaptable Methodologies to Meet Evolving Project Needs.- Introducing Extreme Programming and Agile Methods.- Strategies for Introducing XP to New Client Sites.- Establishing an Agile Testing Team: Our Four Favorite Mistakes.- Turning the Knobs: A Coaching Pattern for XP through Agile Metrics.- Experience Reports.- Agile Project Management Methods for ERP: How to Apply Agile Processes to Complex COTS Projecl#%
