1995 – the formation of the Scrum approach to flexible software development, where project implementation is divided into short periods – sprints with presentation to the customer of the lebanon telegram results achieved at each stage.
1996 – The emergence of the Crystal Clear agile development methodology, which emphasizes the formation of people-oriented rather than project-oriented teams, and extreme programming XP, which allows software development taking into account changing customer requests.

, all of these methods share a common agile approach to the software development process.
The concept of Agile
A significant event was a meeting in 2001 at the Snowbird resort (Utah) of seventeen leading programmers who discussed the problems that arise in project management. The result of the discussions was the document "Manifesto on flexible software development Agile". It was this concept, which literally means "agile", "nimble", but in this context is usually translated as "flexible", that became the basis of the new methodology for creating software.
