Comparison of software development methodologies?

Question

Development Methodologies

Recommend materials for comparing software development methodologies (Agile, XP, MSF, SCRUM, etc.). By what criteria can they be compared, besides values, principles and practices?

Answer 1

I recommend you read Martin Fowler and Kent Beck. They have written a lot on this topic.
Agile is flexible methodologies in principle. The rest (XP, Scrum, Kanban) are already methodologies.
No one forces you to choose one thing and strictly follow it, that's why they are flexible in order to be flexible. You can successfully combine Kanban and HP. You can follow only some principles that suit you. How do you type what suits you from the constructor - and work.
The only thing worth paying attention to is the development team. The team must be ready for this. If this is not the case, the methodologies will not save you. The collective farm is a voluntary business and it will not work to force anyone.
And if you force it, it will only get worse.

Answer 2

I'm currently studying
scrum. Scrumtrack has a good Agile checklist scrumtrek.ru/products/
And you can also listen to a podcast in runetology
runetologia.podfm.ru/130/
Ideally, find a team that uses the desired methodology and live with it for a month.

Answer 3

By what criteria can they be compared, besides values, principles and practices?

According to the results! It is not possible, but it is necessary!
And they, IMHO, last but not least, depend on specific conditions, regardless of the level of ownership of the team / leader in one or another methodology

Answer 4

I saw several attempts to implement a specific methodology. And each time it was caused by the lack of self-confidence of the authorities and looked terrible.
But when a self-confident boss does something, I combine the principles of different methodologies in accordance with my experience, a specific team and the tasks set - almost always led to success.
Read what is, but proceed from experience.
