Information systems development has always been a focal point of IS research. The most widely understood traditional methods for developing information systems are based on the “waterfall” life cycle model. Recently, agile methods have drawn increasing attention from IS practitioners and researchers worldwide, as a response to the shortcomings of the traditional methods. However, the impact of ...

The aim of this paper is to determine the level of compliance of AGIT model, developed during our previous research for measuring Scrum-based software development, with the information systems auditing criteria. For this purpose we use COBIT model. After a short introduction of Scrum, AGIT and COBIT, we perform comparison analysis of their indicators for software development. Then we upgrade AG...

While agile development methods have enjoyed widespread adoption, literature has lagged behind in the development of theory to explain its impact on team performance. In this paper, we develop a theoretical model to explain the impact of agile software development on the performance of information systems development (ISD) teams. We first propose a new construct “ISD team agility” which we conc...

Value creation through information systems (IS) and information technology (IT) is a major IS research topic. However there still exists an ambiguity and fuzziness of the 'IS business value' concept and a lack of clarity surrounding the value creation process. This also true for organizations that develop IS/IT and for development technologies like information systems development and project ma...

A new generation of information systems is emerging that is shaped by an object-oriented approach to design. This article describes a managerial approach to planning business applications that share data. The nine-step systems development strategy is based on the establishment of a businesswide definition of information resources and an organizationwide set of standards for the new object-orien...

Ontologies are becoming an important mechanism to build information systems. Nevertheless, there is still no systematic approach to support the design of such systems using tools that are common to information systems developers. In this paper, we propose an approach for deriving object frameworks from domain ontologies and then we show the application of this approach in the software process d...

background: the integrated educational system and service provision have involved the managers of iranian universities of medical sciences in different tasks and limited their access to adequate information for decision making. hence, it seems to be vital to adopt plans in order to provide necessary information for decision making. the current study was carried out to define the role of researc...

In a business environment, making the right decisions is vital for the success of a company. Making right decisions is inevitably bound to the availability and provision of relevant information. Information systems are supposed to be able to provide this information in an efficient way. Thus, within information systems development a detailed analysis of information supply and information demand...
