- Extreme Programming (XP): Advocates for frequent releases, continuous testing, and close collaboration between developers and customers.
- Lean: Originating from manufacturing, Lean principles aim to eliminate waste, optimize processes, and deliver value continuously.
- Crystal: Adaptable methodologies tailored to specific project characteristics, emphasizing simplicity, communication, and frequent delivery.
