There are a large number of methods available for information systems development (ISD). These include structured approaches, prototyping approaches, systemic approaches, object-oriented, etc. Many of these methods have been comparatively analysed in books [OLLE88] and journals (e.g [HIRS92]). Despite a large body of work concerning details of systems development methods, there is still a poor understanding of how such methods are actually used in practice [WYNE93]. Thus, there is a felt need for empirical evaluation of the use of methods.
