In the short section entitled "Success" toward the end of the article, the author repeats the sentence "Extreme Programming succeeded" five times, slightly rephrased each time. To be perfectly honest, I find it hard to comment on this without sounding derisive. There is no hint at what "succeeding" even means for a software methodology, and even if we assume we know what "succeeding" means in this context, there is not a shred of evidence for the truth of the statement. A poorly defined statement repeated five times without evidence or proof.
