 Extreme Programming, A Simulation
Extreme Programming (XP) is an iterative, customer-focused, test-driven
process that's changing the way people and organizations develop
software. To understand how XP works, you must experience it. To make
it possible for technical and non-technical folks to rapidly experience
XP, Industrial Logic's founder, Joshua Kerievsky, created a
comprehensive simulation of XP. Since late 2000, we've
conducted this simulation with people throughout the world - from
executives and managers to programmers and testers.
The simulation allows you to experience all of the XP practices and
values. Your simulated XP team, complete with customers, developers and
coaches, will plan, test, build and integrate an end-to-end,
non-technical project using index cards, white boards and networked
computers. After the simulation, you'll have a chance to debrief what
you experienced and learn how a simulated experience of XP maps to
real-world XP.
Requirements: Computer (for groups under 20, 1 computer for every 2 students; for much larger groups, 4+ computers), local network for all computers (1), Microsoft Word & Excel, ScreenTest

prepare a project idea and create story cards for it |
| · |
participate in the planning game |
| · |
experience a complete iteration |
| · |
participate in a thorough simulation debrief |

This is a partial version of the simulation, which provides a good introduction to XP. Participants will have time to:
| · |
prepare a project idea and create story cards for it |
| · |
participate in the planning game |
| · |
participate in a thorough simulation debrief |
