Abstract - The contemporary realm of software development methodologies is witnessing a significant shift towards agility, with "agile" emerging as a central theme. In contrast to traditional heavyweight approaches, numerous lightweight agile development methodologies have been devised. This study delves into the examination of prominent agile methodologies, including Crystal, Dynamic Systems Development, Feature-Driven Development, Kanban, Scrum, and Extreme Programming. Each methodology possesses distinct characteristics, operational frameworks, as well as advantages and constraints. Through a comprehensive survey and analysis of these methodologies, this paper aims to assist researchers in identifying the most suitable approach for further investigation. Additionally, insights gleaned from current software development statistics contribute to informed decision-making regarding methodology selection. Subsequently, a specific methodology will be chosen for detailed exploration, focusing on identifying relevant key parameters for subsequent research pursuits.
