I had a nemesis who would steal all my ideas.

So I bought all the XP books, dog eared them, left them on my desk. My team nearly mutinied. I asked them to wait and see. Two weeks later, nemesis announced his team was all in for XP, Agile, pair programming, etc.

They never recovered, didn't make another release.

I tossed my copies, unread.

I'm praying this story is true, very funny.

With a competent team, XP should work really well, right? So what happened?
