• What is the definition of method engineering?

  Method engineering is the engineering discipline to design, construct and adapt methods, techniques and tools for the development of information systems (Brinkkemper, 1966).

• What is the definition of situational method engineering?

  A situational method is an information systems development method tuned to the situation of the project at hand.
  
  or
  
  
  Adapt methods to the project situation at hand.

• What is method configuration?

  It adapts a particular method to various situated factors.

• Where relies the focus of method configuration?

  Focus is on one method which is configured in a particular situation, instead of using a set of methods as based for assembly.

• 1.2 Creation of methods

• Why method construction?

  - To develop a new method to satisfy a set of situational requirements;
  - To add alternative ways-of-working in a method;
  - To extend a method by a new functionality.

• What are the steps to make an assembly-based process model for situational method engineering?

  1. Analyze implementation situations and identify needs;
  2. Select candidate methods that meet one or more aspects;
  3. Analyze candidate methods and store relevant method fragments in a method base;
  4. Assembly a new method from useful method fragments and use route map configuration to obtain situational methods.

• What is a route map?

  A route map is a flow through a system.
  (Dit zijn de lijnen in bijvoorbeeld een activity diagram).

• What do different routes used for?

  Different routes are used to represent the different situations.

• Where does OPRR language stand for?

  OPRR stands for: Object, Property, Relationship and Role.

• How is OPRR being analyzed?

  Analysis of the OPRR techniques:
  - Count of object types, relationship types and property types;
  - Aggregate metric to measure complexity based on the above counts.
