Introduction
Extreme programming roots evolved from Kent Beck and Ware Cunningham working together on a research group at Tektronix and the collaboration used on the project. (Larman, pg. 170) Extreme programming really became known during the Chrysler Comprehensive Compensation (C3) project where Kent Beck took personal risk in deciding which factor of programming to emphasize. As the methods taken became known as Extreme Programming (XP) the founders are often considered to be Ward Cunningham (the inventor), Kent Beck (the articulator), and Ron Jeffries (the realizer). (Unknown, Software Development Methodologies) The team worked together during the extent of the Chrysler Corporation project, which was the first large-scale use of XP. After this first project with the use of Extreme Programming Kent Beck published his first book Extreme Programming Explained and the use for this software development methodology gained increasing usage in the programming field.
Extreme Programming Principles and Values
The book Extreme Programming Explained written by Beck addressed that there are twelve practices to follow for XP. 1) The planning game: a high-level plan that explains and plans for the next iteration, 2) small release: frequent releases with evolutionary delivery, 3) metaphor: common vision, language usage, and terminology by all team members, 4) simple design: easy coding to make results work, 5) testing: automated tests with pass/fail results followed by implementation, 6) refactoring: enhance coding without affecting system behavior, 7) pair programming: having two developers working simultaneously at the same workstation sharing tasks and ideas, 8) collective ownership: anyone team member can change or improve coding at anyti...

During the last year, significant time and resources were allocated to develop the Lowe’s Iterative Project Development Methodology (IPDM). Once completed, the IPDM will provide co-located and virtual teams with standardized organizational processes and execution methodologies.
Standardize procedures and project management. E.g. use the same language or coding and decoding of software.

Moreover, best practice is defined as “commercial or professional procedures that are accepted or prescribed as being correct or most effective” (Oxford English Dictionary, 2016, “Best Practice”, para 68). Likewise, numerous industries utilize best practices efforts to design and implement global staffing systems (Wiechmann, Ryan, & Hemingway, 2003). Additionally, due to TEKsystems utlizing best practice efforts, the company has a high growth rate and has proven this by staffing over 80,000 information technology consultants annually (S. O’Connor, personal communication, March 29,
A software development methodology is a standard proven process which helps programmers, architects, system analysts and others to make a well controlled and an efficient progress in the high quality software development.
Then came Linus Benedict Torvalds. At the time he was a sophomore majoring in Computer Science at the University of Helsinki, his hobby also included computer programming. At 21 he found himself spending most of his time toying with computer systems, trying to see what he could do in order to push their limits and increase their functionality. The key missing in his tests was an operating system that had the flexibility craved for by professionals. MINIX was available, though it was still just a stu...

For example, XP requires the act of including small teams, applying the use of simple codes, reviewing the code frequently which will allow it to be tested and will only require working on XP for 4 hours per week.
Agile software development is a group of software development methods based on iterative and incremental development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams. It promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development and delivery, a time-boxed iterative approach, and encourages rapid and flexible response to change.
