Methodology

Methodology

An index and topic collection covering the methodologies that shape how software and APIs are planned, built and run: agile frameworks like Scrum and Extreme Programming, Lean and Lean Six Sigma, the software development lifecycle, project management methods, and the working artifacts they produce, such as product backlogs, user stories, RACI matrices and Gantt charts. These are practices, not products, so each appears here as a term rather than as a provider.
