Abstract:
In this work we (i) expose and analyse the social-psychological principle of commitment and consistency embedded in the Extreme Programming software development process, (ii) illustrate how this principle can be leveraged to impact upon project success, and (iii) provide practical evidence of the manifestation of this principle and its effects in the Extreme Programming domain, through nascent results from our qualitative case study. This work is in its initial stages; our intent is to persuade the reader that commitment and consistency are indeed relevant factors in Extreme Programming process, are potentially impactful on organizational success, and are worthy of further study.
