1. Agile : Agile software development is a newer approach of software development. It is based on continuous iterative development approach throughout SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) so that continuous changes are made according to immediate feedback/requirements and at last it results a good and effective software product which gives more satisfaction to the client/customer. It is different than the classical waterfall model or sequential developmental approach. In this development model both parties like developer party and client party are involved throughout the process so it is also referred as cross sectional development. 

2. Kanban : Scrum and Kanban are two agile project management methodologies where Kanban is a very well known system to run agile development. Kanban is like a visual signal which makes the work more noticeable to other people which makes them to stay with agreement. So it is just compared to a board called as Kanban Board. This board displays task workflows so the flow of task is optimized between different teams. It allows the team members to see the state of each piece of work in every development phase.
