eXtreme Programming is built atop a canon of 12 software engineering best-practices. Debate continues on the necessity of application of all 12 practices for the success of a project. Heresy (religious methodological differences) continues in the community on the subject of "missing practices", i.e. teams that have reported success while not embracing all XP practices.

This panel will provide a lively (you WILL have fun), informative, highly interactive session to debate differences and similarities in approach. Audience members will be questioned at regular intervals for their opinion.

We propose panelists from a variety of contexts (corporate, consulting, academic) to share their opinions, biases, and experiences.
