Abstract

It may seem that the proposed method framework is similar to the waterfall model of systems and software development. This chapter shows that this is not the case and that the framework allows for highly iterative ways of working. We introduce a distinction between temporal and logical orderings of work, where the former refers to the temporal and sequential order of activities and the latter to input-output relationships. This distinction helps to clarify the kinds of relationships that exist between activities in design science research.
