Release 1: The MATRIX(P), it's everywhere!

What do I mean by this?

Well, I have been using some XP principles for the major part of two years now, and I must admit that these principles, especially the Management Practices are pretty generic and not only valid for the IT geeks (apart from the technical practices...).

In fact, I see these principles working everywhere, just like Neo in "Matrix" sees the Matrix world as it is (that green slime of numbers) after he has been shot by Smith ;-)

OK, OK, I am not saying I am the one here! Everybody can see the same thing as me, and it is very unlikely that I will start flying tomorrow and be able to kick butts in a variety of martial arts.

However, my life is now heavily tinted by reflexes that XP has given me, even outside the context of managing the production of software, 'cause at the end of the day, everything we do requires capacity monitoring, planning, delivery, integration, testing and aims at generating value.
