The fusion of two unrelated things often produces a beautiful chemical reaction. Stephen described "Agile" and "Modeling" as follows: "Agile" and "Modeling", although rarely in the same sentence, they are not in conflict at all. On the contrary, modelers can learn a lot from those who implement Agile, such as building tests for models early. Those who follow agile processes can also benefit from increased productivity and more accessible communication with customers. Undoubtedly, everyone can benefit from it.

By the late 80s, Jon probed the new object-oriented paradigm, and he quickly adopted C++. With the birth of UML, Jon finds a firm direction and path: to become an evangelist for object-oriented and lightweight processes. In 2001, a new concept was proposed: MDA. Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is a practical design approach that developers take to capture the project requirements, plans, and implementation design and follow it to implement the system. In the decades that followed, Jon Kern worked as an Agile MDA tutor in the business of Agile training.
