Differences between Scrum and XP
15.02.2011. 11:03
I have never been a stickler to stick to rules and this is also true of agile adoption. A lot of people who think they know a lot about agile practices like to get SCRUM certified and then follow a SCRUM methodology down to the most minute detail. One thing that I have always learned though is that no two organisations are the same and when trying to apply a generic pattern to multiple organisations it doesn't always work - think of it as the same as off the shelf software... It's kind of what you want, but to get the most out of it it will have to be customised to some extent.
I was very happy when I read
Allan's blog regarding the matter which hinted that the best way to go was
SCRUM for governance but to incorporate
XP technical aspects to be the most productive (pair programming, TDD, BDD, continuous integration etc)... Which it just so happens is what we've been doing for the last few years!
