 XP - A Disruptive Technology? 
 S.D. Fraser, Ph.D. 
  
 ABSTRACT 
 The term "Disruptive Technology" was coined by Clayton Christensen in his 
 book the Innovator's Dilemma (1997) to describe technologies that displace 
 existing products/processes and change the fundamental way we work, 
 communicate, travel, and play. This talk will examine XP in the context of 
 tech transfer strategies, team paradigms and disruptive technologies.
