Extreme Programming Misconceptions

This page is intended to document some common misconceptions about ExtremeProgramming.

A couple have been started:

RewritingIsNotRefactoring
ExtremeProgramming is not CowboyCoding
ExtremeProgramming, instead of NotDoingDesign, is rather about ContinuousDesign (see also XpDoesDesign, DesignInXp, etc.)
ExtremeProgramming does not forbid writing any documentation, rather avoid TooMuchDocumentation (see also KeepMassLow, ExtremeDocuments, and OnceAndOnlyOnce)
XpIsNotaSilverBullet
ReFactoring should not occur in large expensive chunks (See RewritingIsNotRefactoring)

See also PairProgrammingMisconceptions.

Please add others that you are tired of dealing with. Cheers,-- JasonNocks
