Abstract

Organizations have to change their systems development methods due to changing situations. Situated methods take into account the contingencies of a systems development project improving the effectiveness of systems development. Situated method engineering must be implemented as a learning process supported by situation-specific development strategies and integrating method fragments from different methods. Field studies show the need for and the feasibility of situated method engineering. Several method engineering instruments are available and have been explored during the field studies.
