Abstract

Almost all software vendors use methods and techniques in their software development and production processes. In order to improve the maturity of their processes, an incremental method engineering approach can be followed to adapt and improve methods and techniques. In order to ensure the suitability of selected methods, the authors propose the concept of situational fit to balance environmental characteristics, company characteristics, and information system development methods. They carried out a case study to illustrate the process of incremental method engineering. Furthermore, the authors performed a quantitative analysis on a data set of 38 companies to evaluate the use of situational fit.
