XP Courage
XP team members are not afraid to:
- Stop when they are tired.
- Let every business decision be made by the customer.
- Ask customers to reduce the scope of a release.
- Ask their peers, or customers, for help.
- Design and implement only what is needed for today, trusting that we can add, tomorrow, what will be needed tomorrow.
- Make changes that improve the function or structure of code.
- Fix the design and retrofit existing code when the design is shown to be inadequate.
- Throw code away.
- Change the process when it’s not working.
