Abstract

It is well known that the choice for an appropriate design strategy is an important factor in the success of a systems development project. However, the selection of a design strategy is often not carried out in a systematic way. Moreover, it is not always clear in what situation a particular design strategy is appropriate. Finally, sometimes none of the currently existing design strategies is appropriate. Consequently, there is a need to develop a strategy that is geared towards a particular project situation. In this paper we show how the selection of an existing design strategy can be carried out in a systematic way and how new design strategies can be developed. We do so by analysing the structure of design strategies and by showing how the different settings of strategy parameters can be used to reduce the risks of a particular project situation. We conclude with a description of the application of our method to a real design project.
