Réf. : RE: New RPG programmers

You mean you revise your estimates as you go, you make small releases and you 
automate acceptance tests?

If that's the case, you're working for a great company!

At my company, we :
- cannot change our estimate as our knowledge of the problem increases. 
Milestone dates are set in stone (no pun intended).
- make big releases once a year
- do all our acceptance tests manually

now, when i look at the xp-map on that page, i notice,
that we've never done anything else than extreme programming.

whats so revolutionary about that concept?
or: is there any other effective form to program?

-----------------------------

I googled "extreme programming" and found this site. It looks like a
good explanation.
