Here are some common software development methodologies:

1. Waterfall:
   • A linear and sequential approach where each phase must be completed before the next one begins.
   • Phases include requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
   • Best suited for projects with well-defined requirements and low likelihood of changes.
2. Agile:
   • An iterative and incremental approach that emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, and customer feedback.
   • Work is divided into small, manageable units called sprints, typically lasting 1-4 weeks.
   • Common frameworks include Scrum, Kanban, and Extreme Programming (XP).
3. Scrum:
   • A specific Agile framework that uses fixed-length iterations called sprints.
   • Key roles include Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team.
   • Emphasizes daily stand-up meetings, sprint planning, sprint review, and sprint retrospective.
4. Kanban:
   • An Agile framework that focuses on visualizing work, limiting work in progress, and improving flow.
   • Uses a Kanban board with columns representing different stages of the workflow.
   • Allows for continuous delivery and improvement without fixed-length iterations.
5. Extreme Programming (XP):
   • An Agile framework that emphasizes technical excellence and customer satisfaction.
   • Practices include pair programming, test-driven development (TDD), continuous integration, and frequent releases.
   • Focuses on improving software quality and responsiveness to changing requirements.
6. Lean:
   • A methodology derived from Lean manufacturing principles, focusing on delivering value to the customer and eliminating waste.
   • Emphasizes continuous improvement, respect for people, and optimizing the whole system.
   • Practices include value stream mapping, pull systems, and small batch sizes.
7. DevOps:
   • A methodology that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to improve collaboration and automate processes.
   • Aims to shorten the development lifecycle and deliver high-quality software continuously.
   • Practices include continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD), infrastructure as code, and monitoring.
8. Feature-Driven Development (FDD):
   • An Agile methodology that focuses on delivering tangible, working software features.
   • Involves creating a feature list, planning by feature, designing by feature, and building by feature.
   • Emphasizes regular builds, inspections, and progress reporting.
9. Rapid Application Development (RAD):
   • A methodology that prioritizes rapid prototyping and iterative development over planning.
   • Involves user feedback and collaboration throughout the development process.
   • Best suited for projects with tight deadlines and evolving requirements.
10. Spiral:
    • A risk-driven iterative approach that combines elements of both Waterfall and Agile methodologies.
    • Involves repeated cycles (spirals) of planning, risk analysis, engineering, and evaluation.
    • Focuses on identifying and mitigating risks early in the development process.

These methodologies provide different approaches to software development, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The choice of methodology depends on factors such as project requirements, team size, and organizational culture.
