By comparing different methods for developing information systems, it is possible to determine the advantages, shortcomings, and suitability of a particular method for different types of IT projects. The methods analyzed in this paper are the SDLC method, structural analysis, object-oriented analysis, and agile methodologies. Key aspects of each method are compared, including the development process, flexibility, time, cost, and quality of the final information system. The research shows the importance of choosing an appropriate method depending on the specifics of the project and the circumstances. It also analyses the role of teamwork and cooperation in each method. Efficient communication and good cooperation are key factors for successful information system development. The ability to adapt to challenges and changes during the development process of each method is also examined, which can be critical to the successful delivery of an information system that meets a customer's needs. Considering the characteristics of each method, the development team can select the most appropriate method for successful information system development. The factors that influence the success of each method, such as team structure, communication and collaboration with the customer, and the ability to adapt to requirements and changes, were also analyzed during the research. After explaining each method, a comparative analysis of the selected methods is performed according to specific criteria. This paper provides a deeper understanding of the different methods used to develop information systems and offers guidelines for selecting the most appropriate methods in each specific project.
