The subject of the fifth XP.BE meeting was "Can you sell XP to managers? If so, how? If not, why not? And what can you do in that case?"

In the meeting there were two initial positions:

Pascal: you don't want to sell Xp to managers. Here's why: DontSellXpToManagers

Patrick: you can sell Xp to management. Here's how I did it: HowToSellXpToManagers

Before the presentations, both thought they were telling something completely opposite from the other.

After the presentations they thought they had told essentially the same thing. Pascal in a very abstract, roundabout and general way. Patrick in a concrete description of one situation.
