Design
Methodology
The appropriate development
methodology to be used is The Rapid Application Development: Throwaway
Prototyping method. Having flexibility is priceless in early stages of
development and using the “throwaway” method aids the designers in
understanding what the end user (customer) needs from the system to get the
desired final product. Creating a prototype of the working model allows the
user to provide feedback on design issues that could save money in the long-run.
(Dennis, 2012)
1.Excellent when used in developing systems with unclear
user requirements.
