Title

An industry survey of emerging prototyping methodologies

Abstract

The literature indicates that although the phased traditional systems development approach continues to be used, prototyping techniques are becoming popular. Instead of a single prototyping methodology, however, studies suggest there are several, each with its unique processes and characteristics. These developments raise important questions: which specific methodologies are being used, to what extent are they being applied, and how important are they? A mail survey of the MIS managers in Fortune 1000 firms was conducted to attempt to answer these questions. Four separate methodologies are identified and investigated. Results indicate that over 60% of the respondent organizations are prototyping; all four methodologies are very popular and seen as important to the development of information systems. © 1990.
