The choice of systems development methodology and the appropriate processes and techniques is important to the success of any systems development effort. However, there are very few frameworks proposed in the academic literature to help in selecting a suitable systems development approach. This paper defines three categories of systems development methodologies: waterfall, iterative, and agile and the processes associated with each of these categories are described. A methodology and technique selection framework is proposed that enables the customization of a specific development approach to fit the characteristics of the specific analysis, design, and development project.

Research presented in this paper argues that a clear understanding of the power stasis is essential for ensuring information security during organizational innovation. We use Clegg’s Circuits of Power framework to evaluate the integrity of various power dimensions at Kaiser Permanente. Our analysis of the case suggests that 1) an inability to ensure integrity amongst circuits of power results in potential security problems 2) inadequate definition of obligatory passage points in a given context is the root cause for an ill-defined security policy. Our analysis also reveals the importance understanding power relationships in evaluating information security concerns during organizational innovations.
