Towards An Integrated Model Of ISDM Tailoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
Information Systems Development Methodology (ISDM) tailoring is often portrayed as a simple linear process. In this study, the use of an ISDM on a complex, multi-million dollar commercial project is examined. It reveals that ISDM tailoring should be viewed as a complex series of tailoring steps, some of which occur in a proactive (or “contingent”) way in response to known or planned project conditions, whilst others are more reactive in nature and represent improvised responses to project conditions which emerge.

Towards Structured Flexibility in Information Systems Development: Devising a Method for Method Configuration
Method configuration is a specific type of Method Engineering (ME) that takes an existing organizationwide Information Systems Development Method (ISDM) as its point of departure. Existing assembly-based ME approaches are not well suited to this task. As an alternative, this paper suggests a metamethod approach to tailoring organization-wide ISDMs. We refer to this approach as the Method for Me...
متن کاملThe Application of an Information Systems Development Methodology in Practice - An Exploratory Study
The use and modification of Information Systems Development Methodologies has continued to be an important issue for research and practice as developers struggle to complete largescale IS development projects. Whilst there is a widespread belief that the use of an ISDM is appropriate when developing an information system, a considerable body of evidence exists to indicate that few practitioners...
متن کاملSelecting a methodology for business information systems development: Decision model and tool support
The paper presents a decision model and a tool that helps to find an information systems development methodology (ISDM) for a computer-based business information system (IS) that is suitable to a certain IS development project or an organisation dealing with IS development. The intention of the model is not only to suggest a certain ISDM, but also to propose the properties an ISDM should have t...
متن کاملTowards constructing an Integrative, Multi-Level Model for Cognition: The Function of Semantic Networks
Integrated approaches try to connect different constructs in different theories and reinterpret them using a common conceptual framework. In this research, using the concept of processing levels, an integrated, three-level model of the cognitive systems has been proposed and evaluated. Processing levels are divided into three categories of Feature-Oriented, Semantic and Conceptual Level based o...
