Presentation Found Here: Intro To Agile Engineering Practices (PDF)
Topic: Introduction to Agile Engineering Practices
Extreme Programming (XP) advocates a number of different technical practices including Continuous Integration, Test Driven Development, and Pair Programming. Scrum, however, is a process of simple inspection and adaption which doesn’t prescribe engineering activities. So why would Scrum teams want to know about XP technical practices? How can they help us deliver high quality software? In this brief introduction to Agile Engineering practices I explain what they are, and why they are important for Scrum teams to adopt.
