XP Value 3: Feedback

Feedback is the XP value that helps the team members know if they are on the right track. This is why feedback needs to be highly repetitive and frequent. In XP, feedback comes not only from individuals and their interactions, but also from the automation of tests, the progress charts that the tracker generates, and the successful acceptance of user stories.

Note User stories are an XP component used to capture project requirements. We will describe user stories in detail in Chapter 3.

Constant feedback keeps the development team from missing the project target. It ensures that the software the team is developing is high quality and stable. Feedback also gives the project stakeholders the confidence that what they will receive is what they need and expect.
