=== Extreme Programming ===

[[Extreme programming]] (XP) was designed for a environment where all developers were co-located <ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/44518151|title=Extreme programming installed|last=1967-|first=Anderson, Ann,|last2=Chet.|first2=Hendrickson,|date=2001|publisher=Addison-Wesley|isbn=0201708426|oclc=44518151}}</ref>, which is not the case for Distributed Software Development. Furthermore, XP is heavily reliant on continuous communication between stakeholders and developers, which makes communication one of the five core values of XP <ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.nl/books?hl=pt-PT&lr=&id=G8EL4H4vf7UC&oi=fnd&pg=PR13&dq=K.+Beck,+Extreme+Programming+Explained:+Embrace+Change,+second+ed.+Addison-Wesley,+Reading,+MA,+2005&ots=j9BKvsjZBj&sig=umv8dbyNn3ACR4c7s8YXEM1GM8w#v=onepage&q&f=false|title=Extreme Programming Explained: Embrace Change|last=Beck|first=Kent|date=2000|publisher=Addison-Wesley Professional|isbn=9780201616415|language=en}}</ref>.

== Notes ==

The History section is heavily under cited, but most of the accounts described were obtained by interview with members of some of the relevant communities and companies. There is currently an active effort in order to register those accounts in an official mean of communication to make them verifiable, and the article will be updated as soon as that goal is achieved.
