The paper presents an approach for evaluation of software development methodologies (SDM) that considers the aspects of a SDM’s social adoption and technical efficiency. It builds on existing evaluation models used in the field of SDM. Case study approach was used to validate the model in four software development organisations. In all four cases the management confirmed that the model provided valuable new insights into adoption and efficiency of the companies’ SDM.
