I'd like to read about this some more. I have mixed feelings about my time with XP. Some of the lessons from there have gone deep down into my psyche. In many ways it struck a chord with me because it fit in many ways with my somewhat ... ADHD ... working habits ... because it kept the horizon short and made it always explicit what was to be done immediately and, most importantly why and made it clear what the outcome had to be -- clearly defined user stories, feature-level granularity. On the other hand, it felt a bit cultish, and the intensity of constantly talking about and naval gazing about process was frustrating. But so much of what people accept now as standard practices -- that I guess came for many people via SCRUM -- had their origin there. Daily standups, short sprints, etc. I just think SCRUM has mostly lost what that was really about. In the end no process can substitute for just small teams of motivated creative people solving problems they want to solve. Unfortunately most projects/teams/companies are not that.
