Abstract

This chapter presents a method of applying the principles of the descriptive research method to studies aimed at ascertaining the data needed for making a recommendation in regard to what strategy or approach should be chosen in a certain development stage of future projects. The idea is to use data extracted from already-finished projects to make decisions related to similar projects in their early stages. First, the method is briefly described; next, two case studies that illustrate the method are presented. The method is based on isolating an independent variable, which can be development strategy, integration approach or any other strategy or approach, and deciding which attribute of the independent variable is preferable with respect to the dependent variable, project success, measured by the extent of meeting the requirements, planned budget, planned schedule, and customer satisfaction.
