The conference brings together people from industry and academia to shareexperiences and ideas and to provide an archival source for important papers onflexible process-related topics. The conference is also meant to provide informa-tion and education to practitioners, to identify directions for further research,and to be an ongoing platform for technology transfer.” This was the goal of the 1st XP 2000 Conference. The Organizing Committeeexpected around 60 people to attend, and they got 160. The subsequent con-ferences were held again in Sardinia and then all over Europe, maintaining theposition of a leading world event on the topics of agility in software and systemdevelopment. Now the International Conference on Agile Processes in SoftwareEngineering and eXtreme Programming, XP 2007, is in its eighth edition. During these years, the agile approach has become mainstream in the soft-ware industry. It is able to produce business value early in the project lifetimeand to successfully deal with changing requirements. It focuses on the deliveryof running, tested versions of the system at a constant pace, featuring a con-tinuous interaction with customers, and paying extreme attention to the humancomponent of software development. The rapidly growing scientific and practi-cal evidence shows many quality gains, including increased productivity, fewerdefects, and increased customer satisfaction. The conference brings together both industrial practitioners and researchers.It is based not only on paper presentation, but also on workshops, tutorials,satellite symposia, such as the PhD Symposium, and activ ...
