XP is just one of multiple agile methodologies and it is specifically aimed at software development.
It brought to the mainstream a number of good practices which can be applied to any software development project and which could be adapted for use on non-technology projects as well including:
The roles in XP can be easily mapped to those in Scrum or other agile methodologies.

XPM is different from eXtremeProgramming (which has collective ownership, paired programming, etc.) - I wasn't able to find much on it, this is from WiKiPedia: An extreme project management life cycle model is one that proceeds from phase to phase based on very limited knowledge of goal and solution. Each phase learns from the proceeding ones and redirects the next phase in an attempt to converge on an acceptable goal and solution.
Under Agile Project Management (not Agile Software Development) - there are various flavors....all of which, in my opinion, try to address the major risk of unknown gaps in the project scope and understanding and inability to predict, within reason, the resulting deliveries, costs and time to complete.

I once attended a presentation about extreme project management. It was about the management of extreme projects, not the extreme management of projects. Saving Changes...

I agree with Stéphane, using analogies "extreme surfing" can be seen as surfing the biggest waves in the world or "extreme bmx" as jumping the largest jumps.
I also agree with Kiron Bondale, again using analogies "extreme surfing" could be seen as surfing the most remote waves or "extreme bmx" performing a brand new maneuver.
I believe "extreme" is based on raising the bar on what is done or expected to be done. Taking what is currently done to a new level.
Thus extreme project management could be seen as both the "size" of the project mentioned by Stéphane or the method of execution as mentioned by Kiron Bondale, either way it has to greatly surpass whatever has been previously done and bring a serious amount of innovation along the way.
