IDENTIFYING SITUATIONAL FACTORS FOR ISDEVELOPMENT PROCESSES: APPLYING THEMETHOD-IN-ACTION FRAMEWORK

摘要

There are a large number of Information Systems Engineering methods available. The aim of these methodsrnis to support the development process. In doing so, they become subject to the forces, which have an impactrnon the development process. The paper applies the method-in-action framework on four different cases in orderrnto describe the adaptations, which are made when utilising a method. The situational factors andrnmethodological issues identified in this project show that the method-in-action framework may be used in orderrnto extend the area of use for situational factors. We have also identified some factors, which supplement therncharacteristics of the sets of factors in the method-in-action framework.
