Rather than spending time perfecting new releases internally, teams got work to a deployable state, released as it was ready, and allowed users to provide feedback on what worked, what didn\u2019t, and what could be improved.<\/p>\n<p>Teams in all disciplines\u2014marketing, sales, operations, and more\u2014began adopting Agile practices as a way to work more efficiently, communicate more clearly with customers, deliver high-quality products, and build more sustainable businesses. Although it continues to be popular among software development teams, Agile is now applied across all disciplines.<\/p>\n<p>Although great for teams looking for a flexible workflow management method, Agile provides a framework for managing work across cross-functional teams or scaling planning and prioritization at the team, project, and portfolio levels.

It is a lightweight, Agile methodology for developing software. Feature-driven development blends a number of industry-recognized best practices into a cohesive whole. These practices are driven from a feature-first perspective, with the goal of creating value for the end user. The primary objective of any team practicing Feature-Driven Development is to deliver tangible, working software repeatedly and in a timely manner.<\/p>\n<p>Feature-driven development typically consists of five basic activities. For accurate status reporting, milestones are used to mark progress made on each feature. During the first two activities, an overall model shape is formed\u2014the final three activities are iterated for each feature. The five main activities in FDD are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Develop overall model<\/li>\n<li>Build feature list<\/li>\n<li>Plan by feature<\/li>\n<li>Design by feature<\/li>\n<li>Build by feature<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After unit testing and successful code inspection, the completed feature is built. FDD is a productive, structured, focused method for software workflow management that is a good option for software-focused teams and organizations but is not the best option for teams who aren\u2019t building a physical product.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about feature-driven development <u><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Feature-driven_development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-ol-has-click-handler=\"\">here<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LEAN\"><\/span>LEAN<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Often, Lean and Agile methodologies are discussed interchangeably\u2014although there are differences between them, one could argue that the goals behind them are quite similar. While Agile was born out of a need to bring efficiency to software development, Lean was born out of the same need, but in manufacturing, a few decades prior.<\/p>\n<p>Much like Agile, at its core, modern\u00a0<u><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/resources.leankit.com\/lean\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-ol-has-click-handler=\"\">Lean<\/a><\/u>\u00a0is a way of thinking.

When scaled across a team or organization, this type of thinking has the power to transform, revitalize, and inspire. It can turn a dysfunctional, ineffective group of people into a value-generating powerhouse.<\/p>\n<p>Lean is also a practice\u2014something teams practice daily, aiming to always improve. It\u2019s rooted in the idea that people want to do good work and organizations want to provide environments that inspire them to do so. However, often individuals, teams, and entire companies are so entangled by the status quo in their existing processes, tools, ways of thinking, and leadership styles that they lose the ability to innovate.<\/p>\n<p>By practicing Lean, we can slowly unravel the complexity in our work and resume the flow of productivity and innovation. Lean\u2019s core principles can be applied across a team, group of teams, or scaled across an entire organization. Lean\u2019s ability to scale makes it a great, flexible option for teams in both high-growth startups and established enterprises.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"KANBAN\"><\/span>KANBAN<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike many of the Agile methodologies on this list,\u00a0<u><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/resources.leankit.com\/kanban-wip-limits-flow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-ol-has-click-handler=\"\">Kanban<\/a><\/u>\u00a0can be viewed as a distinct methodology, or simply a tool to implement other methodologies, such as Lean or Agile.<\/p>\n<p>Kanban uses (typically digital) boards to represent the unique steps in your process, and cards to represent tasks as they move through those steps.<\/p>\n<p>In a micro level, this helps teams and the individuals within them combat the damaging effects of multitasking in a hyper-stimulated world.
