“…Brinkkemper [20] and van de Weerd et al [21] showed the importance to distinguish the situations of different projects, called "implementation situations" or "development project situations" [19]. Each customer software implementation corresponds to a specific project situation (several customer implementations may share the same characteristics, then the same project situation).…”

“…Kornyshova et al [25] proposes characteristics of IS development projects and categories as Organizational (Management commitment, Level of innovation…) or Development strategy (Delivery strategy, Project organization…) for instance. These characteristics allow identifying the project situation, for instance, a standard project situation will require little customization of the software whereas complex project situation will identify specific needs [19].…”

“…Luinenburg et al [19] defined feature groups as "a set of functional design requirements". These feature groups allow to compare the existing methods and selected fragments that meet the requirements of the product to be implemented.…”

“…A domain expert defines the features required for the method to be built for the project under study. Luinenburg et al [19] propose to use association criteria to be able to select the method fragments required for the situational method. These criteria are inspired by the Key Feature Groups of the software product domain.…”

“…We propose here a new approach (called Method Association Approach -MAA) to help engineers to create a suitable software implementation method adapted to their needs. This approach has been tested on the design of implementation methods for CMS based web applications [19] and is generalized here for any kind of implementation method. The generic process of the MAA is illustrated in Fig.…”

Software implementation is one of the important steps in a software engineering process. It consists of integrating software based services or components in business alignment with the organizational view and acceptance from the users' perspectives. However, this step is complex and not supported in detail by the existing design and implementation methods. When implementing a software product in a customer organization with a specific context, the problem of the choice of the method or its adaptation is crucial to ensure the implementation success. Software producing organizations have difficulty with the creation of the most suitable implementation method for their software products. Situational Method Engineering (SME) proposes solutions to create methods adapted to the project at hand. We propose an approach to build an implementation method based on the association of method fragments, offering two advantages: it facilitates (a) the modeling of fragments by using the Process Deliverable Diagram formalism (PDD) that has proved its efficacy and simplicity, and (b) the selection of fragments by using metrics to analyze them. We illustrate our proposal with a case study to create an implementation method for a personal health management software product.
