This document discusses taking extreme programming principles to the next level by turning traditional practices "up to 11". It explores several ideas for achieving faster feedback including mob programming, continuous deployment, hypothesis-driven user stories, shared product ownership, monitoring-driven development, and continuous learning. The author asks the reader to consider which ideas may work to implement in their organization this month.

3. Modern Extreme Programming
● “...to take everything I know
to be valuable about
software engineering and
turn the dials to 10”
● Kent Beck, 1999
● “...now we have turned the
dials up to eleven, what
does modern Extreme
Programming look like?”

4. Fast Feedback
● Can we get better feedback - faster?

5. Mob Programming

6. Mob Programming
● Pair programming => 11
● Let's try it :)
● Faster feedback
● On design, architecture, code structure
● From all of the team
● Your experience?

7. Continuous Deployment
● Continuous Integration => 11
● Deploy every validated commit
● Minimize risk
● Deployability gets built-in
● Small changes gets deployed
● Faster feedback
● On performance, UX
● From production monitoring
● From users
● Your experience?

8. Hypothesis-Driven User Stories

9. Hypothesis-Driven User Stories
● Planning Game => 11
● Experiment to explore and value stories
● Examples
● Fake / manual implementations
● A/B testing
● UX testing
● Faster feedback
● On business value
● From users
● Your experience?

10. Shared Product Ownership

11. Shared Product Ownership
● Collective Code Ownership => 11
● Examples
● Own your infrastructure
● Own your backlog prioritization
● Own your hypotheses
● Note: can impact, not must impact
● Faster feedback
● On everything
● From everyone
● Your experience?

12. Monitoring-Driven Development

13. Monitoring-Driven Development
● Test-Driven Development => 11
● Examples
● Transaction throughput
● Email bounce rates
● Facebook API version deprecated
● Faster feedback
● On infrastructure, performance
● From users, monitoring
● Your experience?

14. Continuous Learning

15. Continuous Learning
● Sustainable Pace => 11
● Examples
● Wildcard tasks
● Employee swaps
● Team member swaps
● Faster feedback
● From outside the organization
● Your experience?

16. What may work for you?
● Valuable and possible - this month
