eXtreme Programming development through dialog

To those who are unfamiliar with the method, eXtreme Programming might conjure up visions of programmers madly hacking away without concern for analysis, architecture, design, or consequences.

It is a software development method that views people, rather than paper, as a project´s most potent element. Its primary motive is to start a dialog between the people involved in a project (customers and programmers).
