Good comparison of details of 4 agile methodologies.

Methodologies include:

• Crystal Clear (and other Crystal methodologies)

• Extreme Programming

• Scrum

• [Dynamic Systems Development Methodology] ([DSDM])

• Lean Development

• (others)

See Jim Highsmith's [Agile Software Development Ecosystems] book which reviews the various Agile methodologies in depth, along with interviews with the appropriate gurus.

(Phrase is also title of a book by Alistair Cockburn - WikiWikiWeb:TheBookAgileSoftwareDevelopment - which is mainly about his own ideas on [Software Development As A Cooperative Game].)

It's easier to follow agile practices with a Dynamic Language (Agile Programming Language).
