The work presented in this paper is related to the area of situational method engineering (SME). In this domain, approaches are developed accordingly to specific project specifications. We propose to adapt an existing method construction process, namely the assembly-based one. One of the particular features of assembly-based SME approach is the selection of method chunks. Our proposal is to offer a better guidance in the retrieval of chunks by the introduction of multicriteria techniques. To use them efficiently, we defined a typology of projects characteristics, in order to identify all their critical aspects, which will offer a priorisation to help the method engineer in the choice between similar chunks.
