Abstract
Nowadays many different software development methodologies (SDM) exist that can be used to optimise and improve software development processes in organisations that deal with software development. However, problem is that these organisations often do not have enough knowledge and experience in the field of SDM to be able to objectively evaluate different SDM and select the one that is suitable for their requirements and expectations. To solve this problem we propose an approach that aids such organisations to determine how suitable different SDMs are for their software development requirements. The application of the approach in a software development company showed that it can notably improve the process of SDM selection in a real-life situation because the process is more transparent and results are more grounded.

Highlights
Different software development methodologies (SDM) have been developed in the past decades to optimize and improve the process of software development
Organisations dealing with software development often do not have enough knowledge, experience, time and other resources for deep study of different SDMs and for selection of one that best suits the needs of their projects
To support selection process we propose an approach based on properties of project, properties of SDM and decision rules that aids such organisations in the process of SDM selection
Summary
Different software development methodologies (SDM) have been developed in the past decades to optimize and improve the process of software development. Organisations dealing with software development face the problem how to select a SDM that best suits their requirements These organisations often lack knowledge and experience to be able to objectively evaluate different types of SDMs and select a suitable one. This leads to selection of a SDM that is only partially suited to the organisation’s requirements. All these approaches consider only a relatively small number of different SDM properties and often do not provide recommendations for selection of a specific SDM but give only general guidelines or are limited only to one SDM family They can serve as basis for creation of general decision rules regarding SDM selection. “Conclusion and further work” section summarizes the results of the research and presents further possibilities for improvements of the approach
