This page is intended to document some common misconceptions about ExtremeProgramming. A couple have been started: * RewritingIsNotRefactoring * ExtremeProgramming is not CowboyCoding * ExtremeProgramming, instead of NotDoingDesign, is rather about ContinuousDesign (see also XpDoesDesign, DesignInXp, etc.) * ExtremeProgramming does not forbid writing any documentation, rather avoid TooMuchDocumentation (see also KeepMassLow, ExtremeDocuments, and OnceAndOnlyOnce) * XpIsNotaSilverBullet * ReFactoring should not occur in large expensive chunks (See RewritingIsNotRefactoring) See also PairProgrammingMisconceptions. Please add others that you are tired of dealing with. Cheers,-- JasonNocks ---- See also WhenXpIsUnpopular. ---- CategoryMisconception
