"The movement called Extreme Programming is to my mind the most encouraging
trend in software development today. It focuses us all on the real essentials:
talent, discipline without dogma, teamwork, risk-taking, and light process. It
poses a particular challenge to the manager, since it pushes control downward
(managing people who are empowered to make decisions and even make their own
mistakes is a lot harder than managing people who are obliged to shut up and do
what you tell them to). I think XP will be a new generation's answer to the
mindless regimentation embodied in the C.M.M. and other fat-book
methodologies."
Tom DeMarco was a guest speaker at XP Immersion Three on May 8, 2000.
