Explanation

Extreme Programming (XP) emphasizes continuous feedback, early testing, and adaptive planning. When discrepancies arise, XP encourages identifying root causes and taking corrective actions without delaying value delivery. A spike is a time-boxed research activity used to explore a problem, test assumptions, and mitigate uncertainty in XP methodology. By running a spike, the team analyzes what went wrong in implementation and applies the findings to ensure future iterations align with customer needs.
