Over the years, several of those frameworks have evolved. Each has its strengths and its weaknesses. A number of these are available to developers. Some of these are Scrum, Waterfall, Lean and Agile methodologies. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003C!-- \u002Fwp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n\u003C!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The companies have some options to choose from for their projects.
