How to adopt XP? Here's how, from Extreme Programming Explained.

1. Pick your worst problem.
2. Solve it the XP way.
3. When it's no longer your worst problem, repeat.

I think the above is not only for adopting XP, but a good way to solve any development process issue. It is a good way to improve your process.

Here's how I think you can solve any process issue (a modified version of the above):

1. Start with your worst problem.


2. Try to continously solve it. Don't try to solve anything else; keep working on the individual problem until you see improvement.


3. Once you made it better, repeat.

Where else can this be applicable? I think this is also a good way to work on your individual problems.

You are not going to fix anything right away, start making small, step-by-step changes and you will get there sooner than you think.
