introducing xp
TRANSCRIPT
After 5 days...
...and NOW?
Maybe your colleaguesdon't even know about
XP
Or consider it a funky religion
Maybe your BOSS...
...Wants you to"work like the rest of the
Team""don't waste time, we
are late"
..not to even mention your customer!
So?
I (we) have no perfect answers
But.I have ideas and
opinions(even too many...)
1.DON'T
stress your colleagues
Rember:the Linux guy?
the Microsoft guy?the C++ Guy?
Don't be one of them.
Don't preach.SHOW.
and...BE solid
Don't sell TDDif you don't have
enough experience to prove it
Try Solo
Start Small
Small
Small
2.Dictionary
Introduce conceptsadding them to the
common dictionary of the team.
Replace “Quick&Dirt”
with “Technical Debt”
Eclipse is a magic powder to let them know
what Refactoring is.
3.Stay aware for opportunities
“I Can’t find this damn’ bug!”= >
Pair programming!
Merge Pain=>
Source Control made well
“We are moving!”=>
Open Workspace!
4.(my favourite one)sometimes…
Don’t ask.Don’t tell.
DO
Really,it is YOUR job.
Do you need Refactoring?
Do it!
Need Continuos Integration?
A Wiki?Steal a machine!

Allies!
The Linux/OS Guy
A good evangelist

more willingness to solve it
Bigger =>
it is a pain NOW
Bigger =>
even 20% improvementcan be a lot!
6.CHANGE
