I was quite excited when I read the initial reviews of books about eXtreme Programming. Then I read about it.... As opposed to ranting on my concerns about XP, I'll just hand ya' a pointer to a decent article that covers many of XP's flaws.

Based on my experience, XP is best likened to the practice a young software development company follows before it realizes how difficult it is to
support and maintain software written without a clear design and purpose. That doesn't mean there isn't stuff to be learned from XP - but it's simply not a panacea.
