Abstract

Changing business environments related to constant variations in customers’ demand, situational conditions, regulations, emerging security threats, etc. may be addressed by approaches that integrate organizational development with information system development taking into account changes in the application context. This paper presents experiences from Method Engineering of the Capability Driven Development (CDD) methodology with a focus on the CDD meta-model and the modeling activities that led to it. CDD consists of several method components. Hence, a conceptual meta-model of CDD and a meta-model of the modeling language based on the 4EM approach are presented together with a number of lessons learned.
