Focus is not XP value. It is Scrum value.

Note from the Author or Editor:
This needs to be updated. The following text:

XP teams value focus, respect, courage, and feedback. If you really value these things, pair programming makes a lot of sense. When you value focus, you appreciate how pair programming helps keep you and your teammates on track.


Should be replaced with:

XP teams value communication, respect, courage, and feedback. If you really value these things, pair programming makes a lot of sense. When you value communication, you appreciate how pair programming helps keep you and your teammates in sync.
