The first thing to do is to understand that, except for PRINCE2 and for the European comision, there is not a project management method. Second, there is a critical activity that belongs to business analysis named "needs assessment" which is the moment where you select the way to create something based on performing an impact analysis of the whole enteprise architecture. You can find it into related business analysis documentation or I can share a link to an article I wrote about that and was published by the PMI and the IIBA as best practice.

Selecting the best approach is dictated by creating a custom hybrid plus. Think of it as a buffet dinner. Select the King crab legs and prime rib and all the good stuff. Use Waterfall as your base and incorporate agile into it with some lean on the side.

All depends on how the business and organisation has adopted this, it may be a case that you are allowed to be flexible in your approach but it may also be the case, and highly likely that the PMO is going to enforce what they want in direct response to the business.

Choosing the best project management methodology inside the project life cycle continuous spectrum may be easier said than done, since the option for a project life cycle approach may vary depending on the perspective taken by the stakeholders.

For example, in the construction industry the nature of the project life cycle often depends on the owner, the designer or the contractor point of views.

From the contactor perspective, a predictive life cycle process is chosen based on the premise that defining the triple constraints ( scope, time and cost ) in the early stages of the project, when any changes to the scope are easily managed, risks can be reduced and the probability of the project success maximized.

But from the architectural and engineering design perspective , a change-driven life cycle ( iterative, incremental or adaptive ) is often preferred to facilitate changes while requiring an ongoing stakeholder engagement.
