Extreme programming (XP) is a software development methodology intended to improve software quality and responsiveness to changing customer requirements. As a type of agile software development, [1] [2] [3] it advocates frequent releases in short development cycles, intended to improve productivity and introduce checkpoints at which new customer requirements can be adopted.
Extreme programming (XP) is an agile software development methodology used to implement software systems. This article details the practices used in this methodology. Extreme programming has 12 practices, grouped into four areas, derived from the best practices of software engineering. [1]
You aren't gonna need it" [1] [2] (YAGNI) [3] is a principle which arose from extreme programming (XP) that states a programmer should not add functionality until deemed necessary. [4] Other forms of the phrase include "You aren't going to need it" (YAGTNI) [ 5 ] [ 6 ] and "You ain't gonna need it".
A software development methodology is a framework that is used to structure, plan, and control the life cycle of a software product.

Software crisis is a term used in the early days of computing science for the difficulty of writing useful and efficient computer programs in the required time. The software crisis was due to the rapid increases in computer power and the complexity of the problems that could be tackled.
Fundamental to success on an extreme project is the application of both the appropriate complex method and the required mindset. Mindset is one of the most important and critical factors related to the extreme project management. In order to change the mindset of a team, there are some main rules for extreme approach for project management:
A spike is a product development method originating from extreme programming that uses the simplest possible program to explore potential solutions. [1] It is used to determine how much work will be required to solve or work around a software issue.
