Abstract
As with to other agile methods, which value ”Individuals and interactions over processes and tools” (http://agilemanifesto.org/), Extreme Programming (XP) cares about the interaction among the people involved in software development processes. The four XP values and its twelve practices inspire this feeling as well. Accordingly, and not surprisingly, in a course that we teach about human aspects of software engineering and in a book that we are writing about the topic [7], we find it illuminating to highlight human aspects of software engineering incorporated in XP. This article gathers these illuminations into one place.
