Manual Agile project management with XP

MANUAL GESTIÓN DE PROYECTOS ÁGILES

Respect Respect is the fifth XP value, which was incorporated in the second edition of the book "Extreme Programming Explained" (2004). The rest of the team members deserve respect. A new colleague with little experience deserves the same respect as an experienced programmer. Respect manifests itself in many ways during the development of a software product. Some examples are shown below: • Since all code belongs to everyone, you have to make an extra effort to make the best code you can make. When you code for yourself, you can take a lot of "license" and do things quickly and without thinking about future maintenance. But when your code is really everyone's code, out of respect for them, you should take the utmost care of its quality. • If your code causes several tests to stop working, out of respect for other members, you should fix the problems as soon as possible. Because tests that don't work are invalidating everyone's work. • If a team member is inexperienced, respect their desire to learn and improve and make an effort to help and teach them as much as possible. Criticism should always be constructive and focused on improvement, not destructive criticism.
