Social Team Practices that Require Technical Skill

(this talk is part of the XP2023 conference workshop sessions)

The actual industry adoption of the XP "technical practices" such as test-driven development, simple design, merciless refactoring, or actual continuous integration is unfortunately fairly limited. Perhaps one reason for this is that these practices are grouped as "technical practices" which then misses the social-team impact of these practices. This talk explores the non-technical aspect of the XP technical practices by using Systems Thinking and suggests we might need to call them "social team practices that require technical skills"
