agile methodology 

No one has a clue what this means. Companies use the term to make themselves look organized and modern, employees use it because companies do. Many companies who claim to use agile actually use the waterfall approach and do not know the difference.

Interviewer asked, "Have you ever used the agile methodology?"
Job candidate replied, "Yes of course."
Interviewer responds, "Good! I think I have all I need."

-------------10 minutes later------------------------
Interviewer speaking to co-worker, "He actually knows what agile methodology is! We need to hire him!"
co-worker responded, "What the fuck is agile?"
"I don't have a fucking clue so we need this guy"

scrum methodology 

An agile methodology primarily used for software application development related projects where you talk more about what you are going to do and spend less time actually doing it.

"Do we really need to have these update meetings every 2 hours? You want to know what I did for the past two hours, I was in other meetings, just like the two hours prior. I haven't wrote jack shit for code, but I am really getting sick of hearing Brenda say, 'Can you see my screen now?'"
Project manager responds, "We practice Scrum methodology here. If you don't like it go to Diane's team, they use Crystal Methods"
Stoned application developer responds, "Crystal Meth? Where is Diane's team?"

Nicastro Methodology Consideration 

* The Nicastro Methodology (named for a small town in the province of Catanzaro, in the Calabria region of southern Italy) is the methodology whereby one does not read any of the descriptions/instructions in the email itself, but forges right ahead into whatever action is required (in this case going to the link). It is usually followed by follow-up texts to the author asking 3 to 4 questions - all of which are answered in the original e-mail. Consideration is given to this methodology by acknowledging that it is going to happen anyway and posting the link first and foremost in the email. The virtue of reading this far is indicative that you do not subscribe to this methodology.

I used the Nicastro Methodology Consideration and put the link right in the first line of my email.

II Methodology

"You are a perfect example of ii methodology "

II Methodology by Zerious August 18, 2016

Agile Methodology 

A work-group paradigm for software engineers where all the people in your work-group sit near each other, and little or no official documentation is required in the written code. This is to get working code out faster in order to keep pace with the competition.

Our new company owner is instituting Agile Methodology and I don't know how that will work out after 12 years of the documentation requirement being being beaten into me.

Frankenstein Methodology

The meta‑level study and justification of the Frankenstein Method. It argues that methodological pluralism and bricolage (tinkering) are not signs of weakness but strengths when facing complex, real‑world problems. It draws on post‑positivist philosophy of science (Feyerabend’s “anything goes” in a disciplined sense), critical realism, and pragmatism. Frankenstein Methodology provides criteria for successful stitching: complementarity, triangulation, and transparency about how different methods are combined. It is a practical guide for researchers who refuse to be constrained by monomethodological dogma.

Example: “Frankenstein methodology guided the disaster research team: they used satellite data (quantitative), survivor testimonies (qualitative), and infrastructure maps (spatial) not as a hierarchy but as a patchwork—each method filled gaps left by others.”
