Tool for the selection of software development methodologies for small projects and small equipment

There is no single, universal software development methodology that applies to all cases. However, there is one that is better adapted to each type of project, the particularity of each of them requires a detailed arrangement of the activities, whether they are associated with traditional, agile or hybrid methodologies. Considering that small projects and small teams are the ones that mostly lack a methodological framework to guide them, the article presents a methodological tool that helps the project manager of small groups of developers to visualize which methodology to apply. to better face the software project and reduce its risks. Our preliminary results demonstrate the effectiveness of the tool, being well evaluated in the projects involved in the test cases. In addition, it can be affirmed that the need to guide the development methodology was resolved by automating a previously developed framework.
