Abstract: System and method for evaluating and selecting methodologies for software development projects that may be used in selecting an appropriate development process (methodology) for software projects from among various methodologies. A project context for a project may be defined. Attribute values for one or more attributes of one or more components of the project context may be determined. An Agility score for the project context may be generated from the determined attribute values. In one embodiment, a project context may be scored against each candidate methodology. The Agility score may be applied to an Agility curve for the project context to determine a best-fit methodology for the project from a plurality of methodologies. In one embodiment, the plurality of methodologies may include methodologies ranging from lightweight to heavyweight methodologies. In one embodiment, the plurality of methodologies may include one or more Agile methodologies.

Abstract: A method for registering a software program and performing post-registration activities includes initiating a registration session for the software program; identifying a matching software program; selecting registration information stored in a memory, the selected registration information provided by a user during a previous registration session for the matching software program; and proceeding with the registration session based on the selected registration information.In another embodiment, the method includes determining a current registration status of the software program based on a current date, a reference date, and a configurable post-registration activity period; and conducting the post-registration activity based on the status of the software program.
