| Abstract: | This work examines whether projects in which the development process matches the context achieve superior performance. The authors focus on two sources of uncertainty that generate challenges for project teams: platform uncertainty, reflecting the uncertainty generated by the amount of new design work that must be undertaken in a project; and market uncertainty, reflecting the uncertainty faced in determining customer requirements for the product under development. The authors develop hypotheses for how these sources of uncertainty are likely to influence the relationships between a number of specific development practices and performance. The authors then test these hypotheses using data from a sample of 29 Internet software development projects. |
