FleXP

In the age of modernization, technology leaders have been searching high and low for the best delivery models, frameworks, and processes to push better, faster, and stronger code out of the door.

Throughout the history of manufacturing and software production, delivery frameworks have strived to create efficiencies, remove waste, and create an environment for workers to thrive. From lean manufacturing to Waterfall to Agile, everyone searches for the key to scaling and standardizing processes for their desired outcomes.

IF YOU WANT TO GO FAST, GO ALONE. IF YOU WANT TO GO FAR, GO TOGETHER.

Recently, Extreme Programming (XP) has risen in popularity within start-ups and enterprises. With promises of high-quality code and lightning-fast deployments, it's no surprise technology leaders have turned their attention to the methodology. Pair programming, test-driven development, and CI/CD have risen in popularity, but at the cost of employee burnout and retention risks.

Enterprises operating under unblended approaches, such as pure XP, are struggling to meet their goals while keeping employees happy.

What Engineers Say

"Advice to Management: Less strict adherence to XP, use what works for the team and focus on delivering quality software instead of following regimented and inflexible rules.”

"FleXP allows for each pair to decide how they want to work and what works best for them, while keeping the true objective, engagement, as the top goal."

The answer isn't in the process. It's in your people.

The agile road to success doesn’t mean you need to choose between XP or Scrum as a development team. Your success will come from putting a focus on engineers, development teams, and your desired outcomes.
