Scrum and Extreme Programming (XP) are both Agile methodologies that can be effectively combined to enhance software development processes. While Scrum emphasizes management and organizational practices, XP focuses more on practical aspects like coding practices. XP, developed by Kent Beck, promotes values such as simplicity, communication, courage, feedback, and respect, and employs principles like small releases, simple design, continuous testing, and pair programming. These principles aim to deliver high-quality software efficiently by encouraging collective ownership, continuous integration, and adherence to coding standards. Despite potential challenges in adoption, integrating XP practices with Scrum can lead to improved team focus, code quality, and overall development effectiveness, as well as balanced work hours to maintain team morale and productivity.
