Ahh the last resort of the foolish the hot words. Buzz word bandit. We have sort of a virtual scrum, using Adobe connect inside my current organization. We primarily telecommute, so a single room would be impractical. Considering many of our users are currently deployed around the world in support of ongoing operations this works best for us.
I enjoy paired programming, I understand and practice cyclical RAD ideals within our process. However this must also be balanced within government and DoD constraints for project management, budget accountability and security audits and policies. Xp and agile SD are such nebulous terms however that anyone can claim to be proponents of their ideals. As for test driven design, it's used where practical. During new development. Doing maintenance of already existing applications, or adding new functionality to the same often requires a different set of skills, documentation and development. In my community change and bug requests must be responded to so quickly that following these principals would often slow us down and lead to our support failing the war fighter. As I'm sure none of your applications have to meet this standard, I don't expect you to understand my concerns. In the end XP and Agile SD are supposed to be fitted to your unique situation and environment. Not all of the principles and ideals will fit within every organization. In many cases a single developer is working on these projects as architect, developer, designer and dba, and such these team based systems really don't help.
