Parts I and II are just what you need. We took our years of
experience with agile development and Extreme Programming and distilled them into a single, clearly
defined, comprehensive approach.
This approach allows us to use plain, straightforward language without caveats or digressions. We get
to include a lot of practical tips. We candidly describe when our approach won??™t work and what
alternatives to consider when it doesn??™t.
There??™s a downside to discussing just one approach: no single methodology is appropriate for everyone.
Our advice may not be appropriate for your team or situation. Be sure to read Chapter 4 before putting
our advice into practice.
You may be able to adopt part of XP even if you can??™t adopt all of it. The ???Contraindications??? section of
each practice in Part II describes when a practice is inappropriate. If this applies to your situation, the
???Alternatives??? section will help you decide what to do instead.
Don??™t go too far and automatically assume that a particular practice won??™t work for you. Some of the
ideas in this book are counterintuitive or just don??™t sound like fun. Most of them work best in concert
with the others.
