Abstract

Systems development methodologies (SDMs) are divided into two categories: plan-driven SDMs and agile SDMs. Research has shown that no single SDM is suitable for every systems development project situation. This paper aims to present aspects of a study that developed and empirically tested a contingent use of SDMs model to investigate contingent use of SDMs. The developed contingent use of SDMs model is tested using survey data collected from 155 systems development organizations. The findings show that SDMs are adopted and continuously tailored throughout the life cycle of a systems development project. This has theoretical and practical implications for SDM design and deployment. The empirical findings and the model presented in this study can assist researchers to investigate the contingent use of SDMs and improve their implementation in systems development projects. The findings provide insights on how theory and practice co-evolve and inform one another.
