Abstract

Long systems-development lead times result from the length of time required to design, program, test, and implement computer-based systems and from the limited resources available to satisfy demand. Many companies are turning to alternative strategies to get systems into the hands of users more quickly. To select the appropriate alternative strategy, managers need to evaluate projects in terms of their commonality, their impact on the company, and their structure (the degree of definition of the involved function).
