MSDN Architecture Webcast: Extreme Programming and Scrum - Getting Started with Agile Software Development -Level 200  

Most software development projects fail to deliver promised functionality on time and within budget. Extreme Programming (XP) and Scrum are popular, complimentary breeds of "agile" software development approaches that address this problem. In this webcast Kyle will give an overview of what XP and Scrum are, explain how they work, and suggest how to get started using them. Scrum is useful for defining and managing any project, software development or otherwise. The twelve XP practices work best in software development environments that support refactoring, automated testing, and continuous integration, such as Visual C#® using NAnt under Visual SourceSafe.
