After 5 days...

...and NOW?

Maybe your colleagues don't even know about XP

Or consider it a funky religion

Maybe your BOSS...

...Wants you to "work like the rest of the Team" "don't waste time, we are late"

..not to even mention your customer!

So?

I (we) have no perfect answers

But. I have ideas and opinions (even too many...)

1. DON'T stress your colleagues

Rember: the Linux guy? the Microsoft guy? the C++ Guy?

Don't be one of them.

Don't preach. SHOW.

and... BE solid

Don't sell TDD if you don't have enough experience to prove it

Try Solo

Start Small

Small

Small

2. Dictionary

Introduce concepts adding them to the common dictionary of the team.

Replace “Quick&Dirt” with “Technical Debt”

Eclipse is a magic powder to let them know what Refactoring is.

3. Stay aware for opportunities

“ I Can’t find this damn’ bug!” = > Pair programming!

Merge Pain => Source Control made well

“ We are moving!” => Open Workspace!

4.(my favourite one) sometimes…

Don’t ask. Don’t tell. DO

Really, it is YOUR job.

Do you need Refactoring? Do it!

Need Continuos Integration? A Wiki? Steal a machine!

Search 4 Allies!

The Linux/OS Guy

A good evangelist

Your BOSS!

5. Attack the BIGGEST Problem

Really, the bigger, the easiest.

Bigger => more willingness to solve it

Bigger => it is a pain NOW

Bigger => even 20% improvement can be a lot!

6. CHANGE

Be the worst player of the band

Search for a user group! Or make one!
