The direct cutover approach involves immediately replacing the old system with the new one, and therefore has the highest risk. This is because if the new system has any issues, there is no fallback option and the entire organization may be affected. The other approaches (pilot, phased, and parallel) involve gradually transitioning from the old system to the new one, which mitigates risk by allowing for testing and troubleshooting along the way.
