There are also "seven habits of ExtremeProgramming:"
  • Pro-active
  • Leadership: notion of goals and vision
  • Management: applying goals in everyday job
  • Win/Win: more than consensus!
  • Understand/Be understood:
    • Communication value
  • Synergize
  • Renewal

Isn't this far too vague? Probably a proponent of BigDesignUpFront would also claim to be pro-active, to exhibit leadership, etc. Moreover, what has "leadership" to do with extreme programming? Extreme management, I can buy that, but programming? -- NegativeOne

Leadership in the sense of StephenCovey has to do with goal and vision. ExtremeProgramming has a vision of producing high quality software that fits the end user needs within a minimum amount of time (one of the goals). -- PositiveOne
