Abstract
Information systems development (ISD) of today is too limited, with a tendency to focus on the information systems as such. It has been claimed that system development could be seen as business development (cf. Winograd & Flores, 1986). When studying approaches to ISD one could however question how system development as business development is promoted (cf. Kruchten, 1999; Jacobson et al, 1995). Lately, a strong emphasis has been put upon successful IS project at the cost of not being able to focus enough on the business (context).
