I'd never heard of Agility Programming before so I Googled it:

http://www.agilemodeling.com/essays/agileSoftwareDevelopment.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development

The key thrust seems to be to break up the project vertically and
concentrate on one function/module at a time so rather than having
multiple teams/subteams working on different modules in parralell
everyone is working on the same module.

Extreme programming is apparently a form of Agility Programming.
