Abstract

Rapid Application Development (RAD) has captured interest as a solution to problems associated with traditional systems development. Describing the adoption of agile methods and Extreme Programming by a software start-up we find that all XP principles were not adopted equally and were subject to temporal conditions. Small releases, on site customer, continuous integration and refactoring were most vigorously advanced by management and adopted by developers. Paired programming on the other hand was culturally avoided.
