Abstract
In this article, the author shares how ThoughtWorks introduced XP into an organization and successfully completed a bleeding edge technology project with client staff that had no previous experience using an Agile development approach. This article illustrates not only how XP helped make the project a success, but provides other valuable lessons learned regarding the introduction of XP at client sites.
