Planning Group on New Markets for Standards [Schneidewind/Duncan]
Scott has obtained a pre-release copy of the Boehm/Turner guide they are writing on extreme programming. Need to use this book as material in support of the development of a standard defining what an agile process may be.
Norm expressed concern regarding the stability of the XP community and the maturity of XP programming as a discipline. Is this the appropriate time to try to standardize XP?
XP has a core set of principles, but not a core set of practices. The agile manifesto expresses these core principles. To view these principles visit: http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html.
