The scope of this mini-track ranges from the formative aspects of information systems development (<i>e.g.</i>, systems planning and feasibility) to the “core” concepts in SA&D (<i>e.g</i> requirements determination, analysis, and design), finally to delivery of the information system product (<i>e.g.,</i> system implementation). Also included are methodologies of work process analysis as well as distributed and global aspects of teamwork in the process of IS development. This mini-track is intended to bring together researchers studying technical, empirical, cognitive, pedagogical, theoretical, and applied aspects of IS Development methodologies and to highlight the continuing fundamental position of systems analysis and design in the IS discipline. Papers can cover a variety of topics such as design and development of lightweight mobile applications, methodologies for creating applications from web services, incorporating agility in IS development methodologies, balancing plan-based and agile methods, issues in managing globally distributed projects, and improving project management practices to address success dimensions such as scope, schedule, costs, and quality.<a name="13ccab59d1fa94b0_13c4a80743af2053_13c4a7d95099f001__GoBack" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)"></a></p>
