Comparison of Various Methodologies

When we talk about the methodology, it's always been involved in every single project. This is because, a project without schedule and strategy will probably lost direction and lack of analysis. Methodology, exactly solve the problems stated above. Since it's provides a clear schedule and every step that involves in a project. Comes to the Lotuskrish, we will compare a few methodologies and discuss to come out with a most suitable methodology to be used in this project. Therefore, the comparison and advantages will be clearly express at below and I am taking SPIRAL, PROTOTYPE and SSADM as my suggestion.
Comparison
Methodology Spiral Prototype SSADM
Advantages
-Avoidance of risk
-Software is produced early in the software life cycle
-Additional functionality can be added at a late stage
-Users are actively -involved in the development
-Users get a better understanding of the system
-Error can be detected at the early stage
-Missing functionality can be identified -Strong structured documentation
-Better quality
-Effective use of skill
-Better timeline
Disadvantages -Risk analysis requires specific expertise
-Does not suitable to small project as well as large project
-Can be costly model -It might increase the complexity of the project or system and might be expend beyond the original system
-Lead to implementing - Over-analysis
- This methodology does not support back to previous stage
- Might be costly if anything goes wrong in the middle of late stage.
Every methodology has pros and cons, wherefore we have to compare various of methodologies and select one of the best and suitable for the particular project. According to the information that we have gathered from the Lotuskrish and come out with a methodology to be used in the project.

Justify
First of all, the reason I choose these methodologies because the information that we've gathered from the Lotuskrish is suitable and meet the requirement of the methodology. Three of these are able to work properly and effectively with larger project. At the next, I will briefly discuss the reason between three methodologies.
Spiral
Spiral is an iterative methodology, the spiral model has four phases as planning, risk analysis, development and test. The project will goes through four phases and repeatedly until the project is done.
Suitability
Spiral is a very useful model to work with the project when comes to the risk analysis, because its tends to focus on the risk of the project. Therefore, I choose spiral is because the company just starting computerize their system and currently still using old system and strategic. It means, any changes of the organization structure could be affect to the project or system.
