Abstract

We present XPSwiki, a tool supporting the XP practices for requirement gathering and project management — user stories and the Planning Game. XPSwiki has been developed in Smalltalk using Squeak Swiki technology. It is accessed through the Internet in a user friendly agile way. XPSwiki keeps track of multiple projects, each with its releases, iterations, user stories, acceptance tests, and engineering tasks. It also manages teams of developers, who sign stories and tasks, and who pair-program them with another team member. XPSwiki allows project tracking and documentation, and is at present in use among real software firms.
