Companies may say they follow agile development methods, but in actuality there are many methods of deploying agile techniques such as Scrum, Lean, DevOps, eXtreme Programming (XP), and DSDM. The only way to truly know if a vendor is well-versed in agile development is to have them prove it, whether through past performance examples or innovative methods like challenges and demonstrations. When performing market research for agile development projects, explore innovative methods like those described in the [FAI Periodic Table of Acquisition Innovation](https://www.fai.gov/periodic-table), or talk to forward-thinking groups of professionals like those at [USDS](https://www.usds.gov/), [18Fn](https://18f.gsa.gov/), or the [DHS Procurement Innovation Lab](https://www.dhs.gov/pil).
