Software-based information systems must
be
developed and
implemented as a part of business change. This is a major challenge, since
business change and the development of software-based information systems
usually are performed in separate processes. Thus, there is a need to understand
and manage the relationship between these two kinds of processes. In this paper
we draw on a longitudinal case study. We suggest a framework to analyze the
case as interaction between software development processes and organizational
change processes. In the analysis we find that the framework enables us to
understand critical events in the case, what led to the events, and what the
consequences are. We discuss the implications for information systems research
and in particular we discuss the contribution to project management of iterative
and incremental software development
