Paper Title: 

Extreme Programming (XP): Development of Software Industrial Projects and Their Impact in the Academic Environment.

Abstract: 

Extreme Programming has been considered as an optional methodology for software development. XP is based on certain practices, which provide an informal method for fast development. Thus the cost is reduced since the analysis, design and coding are done at the same time. Hence this kind of software development permits changes in both, priority, and non-critical functionalities without big scale rework. This document studies the impact on academia and customer satisfaction, by using XP on the development of an industry strength software project by freshman Software Engineering undergraduate students.
