Abstract
Internet-based information system development is booming. There is the possibility that traditional IS analysts will be left behind, marooned with their structured (and even Object-Oriented methods) while technophiles and graphic designers join forces to hack out Internet applications at an ever increasing rate using technologies that change and grow week on week. Using the Multiview2 framework as an organizing scheme, this paper considers the role and relevancy of traditional methodologies for Internet-based IS development. The first stages of an action research project are used to illustrate how Multiview2 could contribute to the development of a strategic Internet marketing application.
