What affected the choice of process model?: GIS development approaches

GIS had a development manual defining procedures, techniques and standards for system development using a home-grown method. It covered traditional, structured and rapid development methods with some limited support for automated tools (00146). However methods were regarded as dated, rapid development approaches had only been used for internal work (00146), and teams were expected to develop their own approaches when using new tools (00623). The quality assurance function was very traditional in outlook (00365).

The Multinatonal project was regarded as forward looking and typical of future developments in X (00145) and used, for the time, modern IT technologies (00298). Following an IT Strategy study and a Requirements study the functionality of the system was defined (00255) and the team devised thir own rapid development method (00298, 00030) with an emphasis on satisfying business requirements (00443). The Requirements study was developed intensively and generated a lot of enthusiasm and they built on this in developing the method (00031).
