Also from the Fowler piece: "C3's cancellation, however, also proves that XP is no guarantee of success." It's fair to examine the at best mixed success of the "birth project" of XP (which formed a lot of AGILE) when evaluating the breathless claims of people who sell methodologies.

Of course XP is no guarantee for success. Nothing is. For one, XP does not control the business environment of your project. Such as the company you are working for getting acquired in one of the more disastrous mergers of the outgoing 20th century. (And yes, disagreement and, er, "miscommunication" about whether this was a merger or an acquisition was just the start of it). If you expect your programming methodology to fix that problem...good luck!
