项目管理的过程模型可以分为遵循经典瀑布过程的计划驱动方法和遵循迭代测试驱动方法的敏捷方法。本文回答了以下研究问题：从从业者的角度来看，这两种方法的差异，好处和限制是什么？如何建立决策模型来为具体项目选择最合适的方法？本研究开发了一个决策模型，用于选择项目管理的程序模型，该模型基于Adam（1996）描述的建模过程。根据对Vom Brocke等人（2009年）之后的文献进行的系统和全面分析，确定了研究差距，这反映了研究现状。将获得的见解与德国不同行业的15位专家访谈的经验数据进行了比较。所提出的模型系统地支持选择一个适当的程序模型的具体项目的基础上，15个标准归入以下类别：范围，时间，成本，组织背景下，和项目团队的特点。无论是从科学角度还是从从业人员的角度来看，它都填补了相关研究的空白。专家访谈确保了实际相关性，并大大扩展了关于项目管理方法决策支持的研究现状。
Procedural models for project management can be differentiated into plan-driven methods which follow a classical waterfall process and agile methods which follow an iterative, test-driven approach. This paper answers the following research questions: What are the differences, benefits, and constraints of these two approaches from a practitioner’s point of view? How can a decision model be set up to select the most appropriate approach for a concrete project? This study develops a decision model for the selection of a procedural model for project management which is based on the modelling process described by Adam (1996). The research gap was identified based on a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the literature following Vom Brocke et al. (2009), which reflects the state-of-research. Insights gained were compared with empirical data from 15 expert interviews across different industries in Germany. The presented model systematically supports the selection of an appropriate procedural model for a concrete project based on 15 criteria subsumed under the following categories: scope, time, costs, organization context, and project-team characteristics. It closes a relevant research gap, both from a scientific perspective and from the practitioners’ view. Expert interviews ensure practical relevance and significantly expand the state-of-research with regards to decision support on the project-management approach.
