ABSTRACT

A decision-supporting framework was applied in a pilot study to assist in the decision making about what software development methodology to use at a software engineering company. This paper critically assesses this decision making process and framework that was used at that company to decide on an appropriate software methodology for the analysis and design of business processes and software systems.
