...to a Project Near Me
Thursday, November 21, 2002

The presentation itself was not what I had hoped it would be, but the outcome is turning out to be better than I had imagined! As a result of the presentation, our upcoming ATG Dynamo project will be the test case for several XP practices: Continuous Integration, Test-Driven Development, Pair Programming, Refactoring, Coding Standards, Collective Ownership, and Open Workspace. I'm trying to convince management to bring in an XP expert for the first week to get us started off right.

What I learned most from the experience was something my wife told me: they're not expecting me to wow them with my public speaking prowess, they're expecting me to be knowledgable and passionate about software development.
