IDENTIFYING SITUATIONAL FACTORS FOR IS DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES: APPLYING THE METHOD-IN-ACTION FRAMEWORK
Per Backlund · Americas Conference on Information Systems · 2002
There are a large number of Information Systems Engineering methods available. The aim of these methods is to support the development process. In doing so, they become subject to the forces, which have an impact on the development process. The paper applies the method-in-action framework on four different cases in order to describe the adaptations, which are made when utilising a method. The situational factors and methodological issues identified in this project show that the method-in-action framework may be used in order to extend the area of use for situational factors. We have also identified some factors, which supplement the characteristics of the sets of factors in the method-in-action framework.
