In Over my Head, Again
Wednesday, December 4, 2002

Once I got management buy-in on several XP practices for our upcoming project, I tried to push to have an XP expert come in to help us for the first week or so. That idea has been nixed. Furthermore, it appears that I will be put forth as the XPert for our project. Dare I say coach? Gulp.

It's a good thing I've got an excellent lineup of books in the queue: The Pragmatic Programmer, Peopleware, Principles, Patterns, and Practices of Agile Software Development, Extreme Programming Applied, and Java Tools for Extreme Programming. I have a feeling I will be drawing on my friends and colleagues in the Agile community quite a bit in the year ahead...
