# Agile Development use cases

Learn the different methods that organizations could use to plan their backlog and deliver stories.

Some common delivery methods are:

-   [Release-based delivery](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/agile-development/release-based-agile-development-use-case.md)
-   [Project-based delivery](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/agile-development/project-based-agile-development-use-case.md)
-   [Standalone project development](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/agile-development/standalone-project-development-use-case.md)

Agile Development 2.0 provides the flexibility to maintain a unified backlog that can be used for both release-based or project-based types of delivery. You can maintain all your backlog in one place and associate the stories to a product,project, or both. You can also select stories from the backlog and execute them as a project, as a standalone project development.

The following example shows how Agile Development 2.0 supports a unified backlog for both project-based and release-based type of deliveries.
