The same applies here, but instead of having just one 20-20, the overall development process is split in to multiple pieces of software development. To add more, there are multiple iterations of the software development process focusing on delivering a package out of all iteration. It is kind off a fast paced development environment.

Involving collaboration in the software development process, this works based on a feedback (like the feedback circuitry) mechanism to stay on track. This also provides a simple for planning and tracking the software development.

Extreme programmers, if you happen to read this, please leave your comments on how this model is useful and what benefits did you achieve?
