Abstract :
We explore the nature of the interaction between organisational culture and XP practice via three empirically-based case studies. The case studies cover a spectrum of organisational cultures. Our findings suggest that XP can thrive in a range of organisational cultures and that the interaction between organisational culture and XP can be complex & subtle, with consequences for practice.
