In a world vastly different from when Extreme Programming emerged and the Agile Manifesto was created, we stand at a pivotal juncture in the Agile journey. Our collective experience has since revealed an intricate picture where teams do not operate in isolation but are deeply entwined with the organizations they inhabit and the society we are living in.

In our post-pandemic, distributed, and complex era, pressing questions emerge: What elements of Extreme Programming truly endure? What will propel us into the next era of Extreme Programming evolution? We are especially interested to hear your thoughts and experience from a process innovation and organizational development perspective.

We invite you to share your discoveries and insights on a range of pivotal topics:

• Agile Essentials: How can organizations embrace the true spirit of Extreme Programming without succumbing to the pitfalls of heavyweight frameworks? We seek perspectives on structures and processes that genuinely embody Agile principles.
• Complexity Theory and System Thinking: In what ways can these disciplines guide us in uncovering and evolving organizational structures? Your experiences in applying these theories to enhance Extreme Programming practices are invaluable.
• Adapting to New Work Dynamics: In the era of remote work, hybrid models, and distributed teams, what practices reinforce the core Agile values of communication and feedback?
• Company Management in an Agile Context: We’re interested in exploring innovative approaches to budgeting, portfolio management, and resource allocation that align with and support Agile methodologies at both the team and organizational levels.
• Sustainability: Teams and organizations don’t live in a bubble, and they affect the surrounding social environment. We would love to hear your strategies and processes that consider the social, environmental, and economic impacts, fostering a sustainable approach to Agile practices.
• Inclusive Workspaces: Transforming work environments into universally accessible collaboration spaces, embracing extreme programming values of respect and courage.
• Any experience in organizing people in a team based on skills, capabilities, or other organizational needs; new role definitions not previously covered in extreme programming, but functional to supporting teams and organization in the agile journey; newly discovered patterns in management. Those topics are all well accepted.
