Agile Modeling: Effective Practices for Extreme Programming and the Unified Process is the seminal book describing how agile software developers approach modeling and documentation.
If you cannot adopt the practice of pair programming then XP isn’t going to work for you, but instead of proclaiming that XP doesn’t work in their environment many people will instead proclaim that XP doesn’t work at all.
This is consistent with the advice presented in Extreme Programming Installed (Jeffries, Anderson, and Hendrickson, 2001) where the authors point out that information resulting from conversations with your project stakeholders regarding user stories are captured as additional documentation attached to the card.

So in our book Extreme Programming Refactored (XPR) we dissect the problems in great detail, and suggest "refactored" practices along the way (culminating in a chapter which puts it all together and shows an example "refactored XP" project).
Instead, we are recognizing that there are some good ideas inherent in XP's agile goals, but that the practices need to be more robust.

Beck calls Extreme Programming a "lightweight methodology" that challenges the assumption that getting the software right the first time is the most economical approach in the long run.
Beck also introduces the relatively novel idea that code should be written by pairs of programmers, forcing the main programmer to describe the code to the other programmer and perhaps to stimulate further ideas.

They will most likely be drawn in by XP's "low discipline" practices (such as no big up-front design and minimal documentation), but without applying the high discipline practices that act as an essential safety net (such as unit testing, pair programming, collective ownership and constant refactoring).
The programmers also finished-off each code module too quickly because they hated to pair program.
