Software Development Methodology as a Decision-Making Model
January 25, 2005

Abstract
The development of most, if not all, successful software solutions follow some type of Software Development Methodology (SDM). A methodology is another name for a model, and a SDM is a decision-making model that influences how a person or team will develop a software solution to a given problem. This paper will briefly describe a few of the software development methodologies that I have encountered over the past twenty-one years, followed by a more detailed description of the SDM that I am currently following and how the SDM influences my day-to-day decisions as a project manager of software development projects.

Beginning with my first year in college, I was exposed to the traditional SDM, the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) model (also called the Systems Development Life Cycle model). This model is also commonly referred to as the "waterfall" method of software development, since one phase or stage of the development process logically flows to the next stage in a structured, linear manner. While this model is still widely used and is useful for development of highly defined systems, professors Rudy Hirschheim and Heinz Klein realized in 1989 "that although there is a strong, orthodox approach to systems development, there are recently developed alternatives that are based on fundamentally different sets of assumptions" (p. 1). The process of continuously challenging the assumptions of a given process and analyzing the available alternatives drives us towards more efficient and effective solutions.

One of the resulting alternate approaches to systems development that I have used is the Spiral model, in conjunction with a technique knows as prototyping. In this methodology the process is both iterative and incremental, whereby a portion of the system is developed, tested, and feedback provided from the user...
