11/17

Also research activities including:

1. Build an artifact to perform a specific task.2. Evaluate the artifact to determine if any progress

has been achieved.

3. Given an artifact whose performance has been

evaluated, it is important to determine why andhow the artifact worked or did not work within itsenvironment. Therefore theorize and justifytheories about IT artifacts.
