Introduction


The spirit of continuous learning is at the heart of XP. Customers and developers learn continuously from iteration planning; developers learn continuously from pairing, swapping pairs, testing, and refactoring; coaches learn continuously by communicating with everyone; and entire teams learn continuously from feedback generated by the XP process.

Thus, although continuous learning isn't a stated value or practice of XP, it is inherent to XP. In practice, this means that XP teams and individuals on those teams gradually learn and improve.

Experiencing the pace of these learnings led me to look for ways to shorten the learning curve. I discovered that by using a few powerful learning tools, a team could improve at a much faster rate. These tools include using a learning repository and conducting regular technical study groups and iteration retrospectives.
