The current hotness is "Agile". A government contractor friend of mine cynically calls it "Waterfall but with 1 week, rather than 1 year, deadlines". Atlassian[0] has a good guide to generally understand what it is I think:
As far as tools, any of the big git providers (GitHub, Atlassian, GitLab) generally cover most of your bases. That kind of stuff is referred to as DevOps.

It often looks like this: Design phase - waterfall-styled, 3-12 months Development phase - "Agile", but with sprints planned out for the next 36-60 months Test phase - waterfall-styled, 3-36 months Deployment phase - waterfall-styled, 3-120 months They don't incorporate testing properly during the Scrum-based development phase (only some testing, too limited to really provide confidence). They then use their experience to say, "Agile is bullshit". And they're right, if you take their definition of Agile which is: What we did before but with finer-grained "planning" of the work for 5 years.
