✦ Synopsis

2. Factors influencing the development life cycle

The authors agree with researchers such as Stetter [7] and Maffin [8] that development life cycles have to be adapted to suit the boundary conditions (context) of the specific development problem. They therefore initiated a research project to determine how the models of and methods for product development generated by design science can be adapted to suit the context and constraints of development projects in the 'real world'. To this
