Hi Phlip, > This puts XP out of reach of large projects, and > life-critical projects.
Have you ever worked on life-critical systems? What is it about them that makes you think XP would not be suitable? I have a different opinion, and if I had a bit more time it is one of the things I would like to write about, but in the meantime I will just chip in to counterbalance such statements. Regarding the original question of XP's applicability, I like, and agree with, Ward Cunningham's assessment (http://c2.com/doc/xpu02/panel.html): "Are there limits to the applicable situations? Sure. But every limitation I have found to date can be traced to disagreement with a fundamental assumption of extreme programming: The purpose of our activity is to deliver software."
