Abstract
The development of new products requires the generation of one or more novel and useful ideas, suitable to implementation in practice. In our research, the agile method eXtreme Programming (XP) is analyzed, evaluated and enhanced from the perspective of the creativity. We believe that a better understanding of concepts related to creative teams (structure, performance and purposes) offers important insights about the use of agile methods in general and XP in particular.
