XP Team Psychology - An Inside View

Extreme Programming (XP) as a methodology for software development is now widely known. There are numerous case studies and reports of it’s successful application in real world projects as well as in the academic sector. But it is equally important to experience and report things that went wrong. This paper is about problems and pitfalls that can occur when introducing XP. They are explained in detail, analyzed, and possible solutions are suggested.
