Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the features of Extreme Programming (XP) and determine how it can be applied to a single person team (i.e. a programmer who works mainly on his/her own as opposed to a programmer who works as a part of a well-integrated team).

A software development process for a single person team, Personal Extreme Programming (PXP) is created. Process script for PXP is explained and the core practices of XP are compared with those of PXP.
