Extreme Programming (XP) is an agile software development framework that aims to produce higher quality software, and higher quality of life for the development team. XP is the most specific of the agile frameworks regarding appropriate engineering practices for software development.<\/p>\n
Scrum is a framework within which people can address complex adaptive problems, while productively and creatively delivering products of the highest possible value. Scrum itself is a simple framework for effective team collaboration on complex products.<\/p>\n
Scrum and XP are both Agile approaches that share the common concepts of iterative development, working software, release and iteration planning, daily meetings ,retrospective, all elements of an Agile process. Both approach are aligned each other that sometimes is difficult to distinguish between a team who is adopting XP while another team who is doing Scrum.<\/p>\n

There are however some differences, some of them very subtle, and particularly in the following 4 aspects:<\/p>\n
1. Iteration length<\/p>\n
Scrum<\/p>\n
XP<\/p>\n
2. Whether requirements are allowed to be modified in an iteration<\/p>\n

XP<\/p>\n
3. Whether User Story is implemented strictly according to priority in iterations.<\/p>\n

Features to be developed are prioritized by the customer (Scrum\u2019s Product Owner )and the team is required to work on them in that order.<\/p>\n

4. Whether to adopt strict engineering methods to ensure progress or quality in the process of software implementation<\/p>\n
