Contextual Method Engineering

Tobias Bucher, Mario Klesse · Alexandria (UniSG) (University of St.Gallen) · 2006

Based on the experience that there cannot be a one-size-fits-all method, different situational method engineering approaches are examined in this paper. The result of the analysis shows that situations are conceptualized very imprecisely. Therefore, we propose to differentiate between situation and context in situational method engineering. Especially context is neglected in existing method engineering approaches. To close this gap, we enhance the existing engineering processes by adding three steps to facilitate the identification of context factors, enabling the engineering of contextual methods.
