Abstract

Human and social factors are very important in developing software and the development of new software requires the generation of novel ideas. In this paper, the Agile method called eXtreme Programming (XP) is analyzed and evaluated from the perspective of the creativity. The conclusion is that XP can be fostered from a creativity perspective.
