A framework for the evaluation and comparison of information systems methodologies is described. This framework has been used to analyse seven contemporary methodologies: ACM/PCM, D2S2, ISAC, LBMS-SDM, NIAM, SASD and SYSDOC. Among the features covered in this paper is a discussion of the background, philosophy, assumptions, scope, and skills required, of the methodologies. For the analysis and design phases a summary of the orientation, tools and techniques, scope and sub-phases is also made.
