Abstract :
The group at SourceXtreme feels that it is essential to deal with multiple simultaneous projects with one extreme programming team. Many people feel that too much time would be wasted task-switching, that the team would suffer too much from fractured thinking, or that a sense of team would be lost. It´s probable that these outcomes could happen and that focusing on one project might be better in general. This paper describes some of the reasons why the group feels that working on one project wasn´t an option at SourceXtreme and what approaches have emerged over the past year to thrive in this situation
