In the 70's the waterfall model was the standard. In the 80's the iterative methods were popular. Projects still took longer than planned and and were over budget. We used to say that you estimated the time it would take to develop a system by doing your initial estimate then trippling it. In the 90's prototyping and something called rapid apps were introduced to try and shorten the time.
In 2001 the agile method was introduced, which provided a structure for some of these ideas.

- Iterative
Iterative development is a way of breaking down the software development of a large application into smaller chunks. In iterative development, feature code is designed, developed and tested in repeated cycles. With each iteration, additional features can be designed, developed and tested until there is a fully functional software application ready to be deployed to customers.
- Iterative Waterfall
- Agile
Most agile development methods break product development work into small increments called sprints, that minimize the amount of up-front planning and design. Iterations, or sprints, are short time frames that typically last from one to four weeks.
The Agile Manifesto:
In February 2001, 17 software developers met at the Snowbird resort in Utah to discuss lightweight development methods. They published the Manifesto for Agile Software Development, in which they said that by "uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it," they have come to value Individuals and interactions over Processes and tools, Working software over Comprehensive documentation, Customer collaboration over Contract negotiation, and Responding to change over Following a plan.
Agile software development frameworks continue to evolve,[3] some popular ones are Scrum, Kanban, Lean, Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), Crystal Methods, and Extreme Programming (XP).

Scrum - The Scrum approach to agile software development marks a dramatic departure from waterfall management. Scrum and other agile methods were inspired by its shortcomings. Scrum emphasizes collaboration, functioning software, team self management, and the flexibility to adapt to emerging business realities.
