Abstract

Significant developer productivity gains and software quality improvement are expected with the use of software development tools and methods. However, recent studies reveal that the adoption of innovative technologies in software development has been undersubscribed. As different types of systems may need different kinds of software processes, programming paradigms and tools, no single set of solutions is best for all situations. The purpose of this study is to propose a framework for organizations to effectively select and adopt systems development methodologies so that they can decide on the most suitable tools and methods for their specific environment.
