Update on our XPish process

We finished iteration #3, 2 days behind schedule.  The customer knew this ahead of time and agreed to it.  Actually, the customer suggested the extra 2 days.

Overall, its going very well.  Communication is better than ever.  Expectations are better than ever.  I am having a difficult time adding testing time to our iteration.  Our tester is also a support person.  So, on any given week this person could have 40 hours of support to do and no test time.  This is making it tough to get testing completed by the end of the iteration.  Suggestions?

We have agreed to a 1 week 'clean up' iteration.  We will be using this time to complete all outstanding items from the first 3 iterations and to plan the next 1-2 iterations.

Would I do this again?  Without hesitation, yes.  The customer knows everyday where the project is (5 minute stand up meetings) and the customer has input on what stays and comes out of an iteration.  There are no surprises along the way.
