Sistem Rekomendasi Pemilihan Metode Pengembangan Perangkat Lunak Menggunakan Metode Simpel Additive Weighting

Selecting the right software development lifecycle (SDLC) method is an important factor in the success of an information technology project. Each method has its own characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages, so the selection needs to be tailored to the specific conditions of the project. However, this process is often carried out subjectively without in-depth analysis of the various factors that influence it. This has the potential to cause project delays or failures. This study aims to develop a web-based decision support system that is capable of providing objective SDLC method recommendations using the Simple Additive Weighting algorithm. The system processes nine assessment criteria, namely team size, system complexity, requirement changes, user involvement, project duration estimation, documentation requirements, team experience level, risk level, and budget. Based on the implementation and testing results, the system produces accurate and consistent recommendations, as demonstrated by the full compatibility between the system's calculations and manual calculations. Thus, this system can provide systematic, accurate, and efficient SDLC method recommendations according to the characteristics of the input project.
