The package aligns with methodological development concepts. Short cycle time systems development is defined by five practices—speed of completion, release‑oriented parallel prototyping, fixed architecture adherence, negotiable quality, and an ideal workforce—and involves continuous growth rather than a single project delivery. Analysis of US and Denmark studies shows short cycle time systems development is a distinct new form compared to other development approaches. Abstract.
Abstract. An analysis of two studies in the US and Denmark reveals that short cycle time systems development is a new form that can be clearly distinguished among other forms. The distinction consists of a package of five systems development practices. These practices include a focus on completion speed, release‐oriented parallel prototyping, adherence to a fixed architecture, negotiable quality, and an ideal workforce. The package is consistent with amethodical development concepts. Systems are not built in a single project that completes with a delivery, but rather are continually ‘growing’ to adapt to an organizational emergence.
